Calling All Artists
The Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, located at the heart of the beautiful University of British Columbia (UBC), offers an art exhibition space consisting of eight free-standing display cases (6 feet width x 23 inches height x 22 inches depth) with clear Plexiglas lockable covers which houses books, posters, other print material and artifacts.
The art exhibition’s purpose is to encourage student learning, research excellence and community engagement. It serves to inform, educate, entertain, and promote UBC Library’s programs and services in keeping with the University’s mission as one of the world’s leading universities to create an “exceptional learning environment that fosters global citizenship, advances a civil and sustainable society, and supports outstanding research to serve the people of British Columbia, Canada and the world.”

The Learning Centre is now welcoming submission proposals for its 2016-2017 Art Exhibition from individuals, groups and organizations within UBC and from the broader community. If you wish to contribute, please apply here by October 15, 2015.
