Welcome to the Laband Art Gallery's Juried Student Exhibition SUBMISSION PORTAL. This exhibition is intended for undergraduate students enrolled at Loyola Marymount University. We are thrilled to invite you to submit your artwork as we organize an IN-PERSON exhibition to recognize the outstanding artwork you have created during this year.
What Is A Juried Show?
All artwork entered will be judged and selected by two art-world professionals (not the Laband staff). This process is called “jurying” and it is a common selection process for creating exhibitions by competitive entry. Jurors’ choices are not based on any set theme or criteria; rather, jurors evaluate artwork based on the strength of your ideas and your realization of that idea in your work. We invite artists, instructors, curators—some of which are LMU alumni—to serve as jurors and we pick new jurors every year.
The two jurors will select the artwork to be included in this exhibition and will recognize several outstanding artworks with special commendation and cash prizes. The Laband’s Director will present an award to an artist whose work has the strongest social justice theme. Art Department scholarships are also awarded to students who participate in this exhibition.
