KvARTirnik in Westwood

November 14th, 2024

Open Call for Kv(art)irnik in Westwood.

Kv(art)irnik is an independent organization that aims to provide an informal space for LA artists to communicate and share their work. We are inspired by the Soviet apartment exhibitions (kvartirniks), where underground artists of the time advocated for free experimental art and turned upside down the very idea of art exhibition. With our apartment exhibits, we strive to revive the traditions of underground art communities – and your artwork/performance can become a part of kv(art)irnik’s next show after completing a short survey that can be found in this link.  https://linktr.ee/kvartla

See you at the opening night!

University of Chicago – MFA in Visual Arts Virtual Open House 11/21

November 7th, 2024

At the University of Chicago, we believe art is a cultural product, and as such, we encourage students to explore the specific artistic concerns pertinent to their work, as well as relevant theoretical, social and historical issues.

Our MFA student body is comprised of artists working in sculpture, photography, painting, installation, performance, video and new media. Students are expected to work with all faculty, whose expertise cross a number of disciplines.  We believe that art should not be an isolating activity and that students/artists benefit from the cross-fertilization of daily contact with people working across different media and dealing with similar sets of issues.

The University of Chicago Department of Visual Arts will be hosting a virtual open house for prospective students on Thursday, November 21 at 2:00 PM CST. 

During this session we will provide an overview of the MFA in Visual Arts program and answer questions about graduate study and the graduate application process at the University of Chicago. 

Individuals interested in learning more about our program can RSVP at apply-humanities.uchicago.edu/register/mfaoh2024

Students can submit their work to Matchbox Magazine at our matchboxmagazine@gmail.com. Feel free to contact me, Dylan (dcabrero@ucsc.edu), with any questions or concerns. You can also message us on Instagram, or contact us directly at matchboxmagazine@gmail.com.

Submissions at a glance: 

  • We will be accepting submissions from now until 1/15/2025 (limited to UC undergraduates)
  • Submissions can be sent directly to matchboxmagazine@gmail.com 
  • All schools represented in our magazine will receive copies of our 19th edition to be circulated among their student body
