HCC Art Galleries Open Calls

April 10 - May 1, 2025

Reception & Awards Ceremony Thursday, April 10, 6 - 8 p.m.

Every year, Gallery114@HCC Ybor City Campus presents an exhibition celebrating works of art created by HCC's students. The diversity of media entered by HCC’s students and the instruction of HCC’s full-time and adjunct art faculty combine to make this a challenging, exciting exhibition.

The Annual HCC Student Juried Art Exhibition is available to all current HCC students. Interested artists are invited to submit up to three artworks completed anytime during the current academic year (fall 2024 - spring 2025) for consideration through this online application, which will be used for the online jurying process. 

Students should have a high-quality digital photograph or file to represent their artwork for the submission. For 3D work, we recommend taking photographs of two dominant views and combining these for a single, side-by-side image.

Image must be saved as JPEG file type

Image size no larger than 2048 pixels (height or width); recommended 300 dpi if feasible

200 MB max file size 

The maximum dimensions for any submitted artwork is 36 x 36 x 36 inches. Anything larger will not be considered for the exhibition.

If accepted, you will need to provide a physical version of the artwork and must be "exhibition ready" (see below under heading "Delivery of Accepted Artworks" for more details).

If you submitted a video/film that was accepted into the show, the gallery will coordinate with you for the appropriate display by providing a TV and/or projector.

All artists who submit their work for consideration will be notified on Tuesday, Mar. 25 regarding whether or not their work was accepted by the juror for the exhibition. If your work was selected, it must be "ready to hang" / "exhibition ready" (see below) by the delivery date.

Even if your submission(s) are not selected as part of the Juried Show inside the gallery, your work may be included in the "Salon des Refuses." The Salon des Refuses will be displayed in the Performing Arts building, 2nd floor lobby. A select number will be chosen by the gallery's professional staff for physical display, with the remainder to be shown digitally as part of a slideshow on a TV/projector.

If your work is selected for exhibition (either for the juried show or the Salon), any/all artwork(s) must be delivered to Gallery114@HCC on either:

Friday, Mar. 28 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. or

Monday, Mar. 31 between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

*Note: early drop-off is available by appointment only.

The HCC Art Galleries proudly presents our Annual Juried Members Show! Submission to the Annual Juried Members Show is open to current HCC Art Galleries members at any membership level, including the free "New Kids on the Hawk" level available to HCC students. Interested artists are invited to submit two artworks made in the last year (2024 - 2025) in any medium for consideration through this online application, which will be used for the online jurying process. There is no set theme, as we encourage our members to submit their strongest work for the juried exhibition. Future iterations may feature specific themes, but this exhibition is open to all subjects and mediums.
