UC Davis Health is inviting staff members to submit their art for the highly anticipated staff gallery that will be featured in the North Addition Medical Office Building (NAOB). To submit your art for consideration, please complete the form below and upload a photo of yourself and a photo or scan of your original art for review. Both items must be attached in order for your submission to be considered.

If your art is selected, you will be notified by 10/10/22 via email, at which point additional details will be provided.
 
Due to limited space we will only be able to select a small number pieces. However, this is a rotating gallery, meaning that the art displayed will be changed out at least once a year, and we encourage our UC Davis Health community to submit again in the future. Even if your work isn’t displayed in the first round, it may be displayed in future rotations. 

We can’t wait to see what you have created!

DETAILS

Theme: HOPE – Art can calm anxiety, soothe pain, and lift us up when we’re struggling. Creative self-expression can be incredibly restorative when we’re feeling down. In your artist statement on the following page, please explain how art has kept you hopeful throughout the pandemic and/or other difficult times.
