The Burrison Gallery is an entity of the University Club that provides a venue for artists within the Penn community to exhibit their work. The Gallery is calling for artwork submittals for future exhibitions. Any Penn faculty, staff, alumni, or family member may submit work for consideration. Submittal packages should include slides, photos, or CDs of work along with the artist’s bio, including their relationship to Penn, and a brief description of the work (medium, technique, etc.). Artists who are selected will be given a six-week, one-person show at the Gallery with the option of an opening reception.
Please send submittal packages to: Ilene Wilder, Chair, Burrison Gallery Advisory Committee 3401 Walnut Street, Suite 440A, Philadelphia, PA 19104-6228.
