You’re invited to digitally install artwork into Blaffer Art Museum’s galleries. Imagine and create an exhibition that crosses digital and physical boundaries. Use your preferred digital application or physical materials to place your work into the virtual gallery. Artists of any medium are welcome to take part.

To participate, download and open the zipped file containing three images of Blaffer Art Museum’s galleries. Use Photoshop or your preferred digital application to create your exhibition. Or, print the images and design your exhibition by drawing, collage, or any other media. Export a JPEG image, or scan your printed work back to digital form. Share your finished work on social media using the hashtag #MyVirtualBlaffer. Be sure to email your work to infoblaffer@uh.edu to be featured.
