Call for Exhibits 2024-2025 – Gifts of Art - University of Michigan

The Gifts of Art Program is seeking submissions for solo and group art exhibits for the September 2024 to August 2025 exhibition year.  One of the first and most comprehensive arts in healthcare programs in the nation, Gifts of Art brings the world of art and music to Michigan Medicine at the University of Michigan.  Our nine 2-D and 3-D galleries throughout the medical center are viewed by thousands of people each day and display over 30 exhibits per year.

Gifts of Art’s rotating gallery program is intended to support the healing process by calming nerves, lifting spirits, engaging minds and thereby reducing the stress and anxiety often associated with healthcare settings.  At Michigan Medicine, inclusion is a core value with the goal of fostering an environment where every individual has a sense of belonging.  This value is reflected in the artwork we select for our galleries: art that welcomes, art that amplifies voices, and art that reflects the community we serve at Michigan Medicine.  People of all races, ethnicities, ages, genders, sexual orientations, religions, beliefs, abilities, socioeconomic statuses, and levels of education are welcome to apply. For more information about our mission and other Gifts of Art programming, please visit www.med.umich.edu/goa.
