Show us! 

Submit a digital photo of your drawing to be reproduced and presented in an upcoming exhibition at Lehigh University Art Galleries!  All eligible submissions will be shown (in a digital/reproduced format, either on LUAG’s website or in the gallery) in the upcoming Fall 2021 exhibition, Thinking Through Drawing:  Works on Paper, Drawings, and Sketchbooks from the Collection and Community.

AND...your work may be considered for reproduction in a public outdoor exhibition along the South Bethlehem Greenway!

What kinds of drawing?

All kinds!  Sketches, diagrams, doodles, designs, illustrations, data visualizations, preparatory and finished works, realistic to abstract, black and white or color--in all media--are welcome.
