Outside the Line
A call to exhibit creative projects- all students eligible!
Hokin Gallery invites students to “color [PR1] outside the lines” and submit creative works that can be considered a creative risk or experimentation. Artists are encouraged to submit work that incorporates new techniques, processes, materials, ideas or work that pushes the creative boundary of academic major or area of study. All creative projects are accepted including: photography, fashion, sculpture, creative writing, video, fiber arts, ceramics, quilting, video gaming, sound, site-specific installation, drawing, painting, illustration, graphic design, interior architecture renderings, performance and dance. Projects can be created outside of area of study. All students enrolled in the 2025-2026 academic year are eligible.
Submissions may be a work in progress.
