The Anderson and VCUarts are pleased to announce th e 2026 Undergraduate Juried Exhibition\, juried by Stamatina Gregory\, Hea d Curator and Director of Exhibitions and Collections at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art\, New York. Applications are open now through September 22n d\, 2026! The exhibition will on view at The Anderson from November 12th-N ovember 20th\, with an opening reception from 5-8pm on Thursday\, November 12th. \nThe Undergraduate Juried Exhibition (UJE) is open to currently en rolled undergraduate students from all VCUarts Departments\, working indi vidually or collaboratively in any media or discipline – or combination thereof. If you are a current VCUarts undergrad\, you’re invited to appl y! \nTHEME: Selected by our Juror\, the theme for the Fall 2026 Undergradu ate Juried Exhibition is “Freedom and Constraint.” The theme is intend ed to inspire rather than limit – the Juror will take a broad interpreta tion of the theme and participants are encouraged to do the same. If you h ave a work you’d like to submit but are unsure about its relationship to the theme\, submit it! The Juror’s full prompt is provided here: \nFree dom and Constraint:\n“Through published lists and guidelines affecting p ublic websites\, grants\, and research communications\, the US federal gov ernment has restricted the use of over 350 words and phrases\, from ‘acc essible’ to ‘underrepresented.’ Related restrictions against speech and terminology have been passed by state governments\, targeting higher e ducation in particular. While regressive and indefensible\, restrictions o n inclusive speech (‘inclusive’ also a banned term) also prompt a refl ection on artmaking in this moment. \n“The tangle of complications and c ontradictions that surround artmaking’s freedoms and constraints have as much–or more–to do with a host of extralegal conditions. How do we sh ape or constrain work\, consciously or unconsciously\, for instructors\, c ommunity\, family\, disembodied strangers? How do we speak or make in code s–and to stifling or liberatory ends? Art history is rife with examples of work made under many different sets of conditions and constraints\, oft en self-imposed. If we are ultimately constrained\, as Claudia Rankine has pointed out\, by our own imaginations\, ‘creatures as limited as we our selves are\,’ how can we find ways to productively\, even radically\, op en up those limits?” \n – APPLY NOW! – \nTO APPLY\, PLEASE SUBMIT: \n\nUp to 3 works (see file size and format requirements below for details )\nA resume or CV\nAn artist statement\, up to 250 words\, that will help the juror appreciate the meaning(s)\, material techniques\, concepts and/o r context of your work.\n\n\nFILE REQUIREMENTS: \n\nImages or Text: JPG or PDF\, up to than 5MB\nVideo – up to 250MB\nAudio – up to 30MB\n\n\nTi meline: \n\nSubmissions Open: August 18\nSubmissions Close: September 22\n Selected Artists Notified: October 16\nExhibition Open: November 12\nExhib ition Close: November 20\n\n  \nDELIVERING ARTWORK: Students are responsi ble for delivering artwork that is install-ready to The Anderson. \nJUROR AWARDS: A number of awards including the Dean’s Award\, Juror\, and depa rtment-specific recognitions will be given out. \nABOUT THE JUROR: Stamati na Gregory is Head Curator and Director of Exhibitions and Collections at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art\, where they work to advance discourse on queer and trans art and artists through exhibitions\, programs\, a fellows hip program\, and acquisitions. Since joining the Museum in 2020\, Gregory has organized a yearlong performance series (Remote Intimacies\, 2020-202 1) and initiated the Interventions initiative\, which invites artists and cultural producers to generate work in dialogue with the Museum’s collec tion of over 25\,000 objects: resulting exhibitions include Coyote Park: I Love You Like Mirrors Do (2022) and andrea geyer: a promise of lightning (2024).

Th e exhibition will be on view at The Anderson from August 28th to October 1 7th with an opening reception on Friday\, August 28th from 5-7 pm.  \nCor pus: Selections from the Candela Collection\, features twenty-five works f rom the collection that directly and indirectly depict human forms. As a g roup they speak to the history of representing bodies and how these circul ated images can crystallize into visual archetypes\, solidify into icons\, or produce genres. The artists push up against the limiting and adverse i mpacts of these conventions by challenging historical forces of idealizati on\, subverting prescribed identities\, and defiantly presenting the irrev erent. Throughout the work\, the voice of the artists demand a say in the power dynamics of interpreting visual history and a place in building the corpus of images that impact individual agency by shaping our collective s elf-understanding.  \nThe Candela Collection is a continually growing sel ection of photographic work chosen from the annual Candela Photographic Ar ts UnBound! Juried Exhibition. The call to artists both nationally and int ernationally is free of charge and results in hundreds of submissions each year. Selected work is on view at the gallery each summer\, and a number of pieces are then purchased to become part of the collection. The curator ial aim of the collection is to gather work in a wide variety of photograp hic processes that reflect contemporary practices. The mission behind the project is to directly support photographers through the purchase of the w ork with the end-goal of donating the collection to an institution’s per manent collection. After 16 iterations of the call\, the current collectio n includes 149 photographic artworks and fine art photography books with a vast range of subject matter. \n\nParticipating Artists: \n\nFrancesco Am orosino\nLindsey Beal\nShweta Bist\nChrista Blackwood\nMichael Borowski \ nTommy Bruce \nGary Burnley\nTony Chirinos\nAlida Fish\nDaniel Gonçalves \nRiley Goodman\nElizabeth Clark Libert \nLiz McGrady\nKendall Messick\nN adiya Nacorda\nLydia Panas\nToni Pepe\nAndré Ramos-Woodard \nLissa River a\nGabriel Garcia Roman\nRaymond Thompson Jr.\nPhil Toledano\nAaron Turner \nSara J.

More than simply creating beautiful displays\, ikebana expresses the harmony between nature and humanity. A key feature of its design is the use of three main branches\, which form the foundation of each arrangement and symbolize ba lance and connection. \nIn this class\, students will learn the fundamenta ls of free style ikebana through the Koryu School\, a distinguished tradit ion with more than 250 years of history in Japan. Participants will explor e basic techniques\, design principles\, and the aesthetic philosophy of i kebana while creating their own unique arrangements. \n\nFees: Member $55\ , Non-Member $69 \nAll programs are subject to change.
