The UNM School of Law Not for Profit Art Gallery invites all University of New Mexico artists to submit their art for consideration for the 2017 exhibition.

The Art Committee is looking for two current or emeriti faculty artists, two current student artists, two current or retired staff artists, two alumni artists, and two relatives of faculty, students, staff, or alumni to provide work for an entire year. The selected artists will become 2017 Artists in Residence.

The Law School Artists Exhibition is open to all UNM artists who are faculty, staff, students, alumni, or relatives of this group. Work in any media will be considered. All submitted work must fit into the designated space within the Art Gallery. If selected, the work must be framed, gallery wrapped, and suitable for hanging on Art Gallery walls. Potential artists are encouraged to visit the UNM School of Law forum to view the space. The forum is open weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The UNM Law School Art Committee reserves the right of approval for all art that shows in its gallery.

Submission Guidelines:

  • Email up to seven digital images of submissions to Tony Anderson at anderson@law.unm.edu by Thursday, Dec. 1 at noon. Image files should be in .jpg format.
  • Include title, media, year, dimensions, and approximate price of your work.
  • In addition to the .jpg images, include a brief artist statement, up to 100 words, in the body of the email.

If your work is selected, the final framed work must be received by 9 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 9, 2017.
