Submit Your Work for the 2027 Clough Art Crawl

The Clough Art Crawl, Tech’s annual exhibition celebrating the creativity, imagination, and diverse perspectives of the Georgia Tech community, returns for Spring 2027.

 

 

This year’s theme is Human/made. The slash is an invitation. “Human/made” can mean things made by human hands, humans as things that are made, or the line where people end and their tools begin. At Georgia Tech, that line moves constantly in studios, labs, makerspaces, and code.

 

Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly. Works might explore craft and labor, bodies and machines, tradition and invention, the handmade and the generated, or the ways places and communities shape the people in them. Whether literal or abstract, personal or speculative, your submission can show what making means to you. If you build things but don’t usually call yourself an artist, this call is for you, too.

 

 

Eligibility: Open to all current Georgia Tech undergraduate and graduate students. Collaborative works are welcome if at least one member is a Georgia Tech student.

 

Works accepted: Digital works, which will be printed by organizers; original 2D works, which must be delivered by the artist if selected; and 3D works measuring no more than 19 × 19 × 6 inches. Please include an artist statement. Work created using generative AI tools is eligible and must be identified on the submission form.

 

Submission limit: One work per student, plus participation in one group submission if desired. Submission does not guarantee acceptance.

 

Exhibition: April 2027 throughout the Clough Undergraduate Learning Commons.

 

Submission deadline: Sunday, Jan. 17, 2027.

 

Opening event: Wednesday, April 7, 2027, from 2 – 4 p.m. at the Clough Rooftop Gardens. Juried prizes of $500 for first place, $250 for second place, and $100 for third place will be awarded, along with a $250 audience choice award.
