Opportunities for Artists

States of Mind

The Stamp Gallery at the University of Maryland invites visual artists and poets alike to apply for this exhibition. This is a unique show focusing on the embodiment of mental health in art.

This is not an exhibition emphasizing principles or output of therapeutic art, instead we seek artists whose work sheds light on the depth of mental health. We hope a broad representation of ideas and interpretations on this theme will be submitted for review. All mediums will be considered. Please visit our mission page for more information about the gallery.
