Interested in showcasing your art?
BU Arts Initiative welcomes all students to consider exhibition and performance opportunities. In some instances, exhibitions are open to alumni, faculty, and staff as well.
We encourage the artist in every BU student and work to engage Boston University’s diverse population of artists, musicians, performers, and creatives, with various calls for art happening year-round. Wondering if this call for submission applies to you? Yes, if you are a BU student, it absolutely does! If you have any questions before you submit, email us at artsinbu@bu.edu.
