The Lucy Burne Gallery, located in the basement of Cutler Union with the Creative Workshop, showcases student and faculty artwork, on view while classes are in session. All Creative Workshop students—adult, teen, or child; newcomer or “frequent flyer”—have a chance to show at least one piece of artwork in this exhibition space.
Interested in submitting your work? Bring up to three works of art in to the Lucy Burne Gallery, pick up a submission form from the desk, fill it out to tell us about your work, and hand everything over to our Creative Workshop staff!
All artwork must be submitted with a fully completed submission form; works without an accompanying form are subject to omission from the show. All physical artworks must be ready to display (2D works must be matted or framed). By submitting your work, you’re agreeing to pick up your artwork within one week of the show’s end date. Any work left behind after this date will be stored temporarily and then donated or discarded at our discretion, if work is not picked up in a timely manner. The Creative Workshop reserves the right to refuse submissions.
To learn more about how to show your art, email creativeworkshop@mag.rochester.edu or call 585.276.8959.

When art activates a space, it actively considers the location in which it’s being displayed. Through factors such as material, composition, color, form, texture, and shape, the art is not just simply there, it conscientiously exists within the setting.
