Contests

And Exhibition Opportunities

 Exhibitions
Update: the 15th Annual Juried Student Exhibition that would normally take place in the Fall will be pushed back to Spring 2017. The faculty felt like this would be a better time for the show since it coincides with Arts Fest and Undergraduate Research. NewMAC will probably use the less busy Fall semester to plan for more guest speakers, conventions, contests, and fun events. Students will still be able to exhibit work through the website and lobby monitors, so that won't be affected by the changes.

  
  
Contests
NewMAC hopes to offer a more varied array of contests and fun events in the future, since we realize not all New Media students like the same things. If none of the contests are to your liking, it's still possible to submit miscellaneous work you made. These contests are meant to be informal and fun, and the guidelines are left fairly open-ended in terms of style and medium.
