UCLA Art Student and Alumni Opportunities

Matchbox Magazine, an annual UC-wide literary and visual arts publication, is accepting undergraduate submissions for our 19th edition (prose, poetry, visual art, music, and spoken word), until the submission deadline of 1/15/25. If you have not seen our previous editions around your campus before, then you can also check them out at our website.

Matchbox is a wonderful opportunity for students who have not been previously published to receive recognition for their work. Last year, we received approximately 500 total submissions thanks to our contacts at UCLA, ultimately enabling us to represent the collective artistry of UC undergraduates in our 19th edition. We hope to have a large presence of UCLA undergraduates in this year’s issue, and believe we can make that happen with your help!

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

On behalf of the Alpert Student Advisory Board, we would like to extend an invitation to apply to present at the second annual Schoenberg Art Walk on Friday, April 5th! The purpose of our event is to connect students across the artistic schools at UCLA with one another and create avenues for future interdepartmental collaboration. While students will be prioritized, we welcome and encourage submissions from faculty and staff as well!

 The “Schoenberg Art Walk” is a self-guided art showcase which aims to inform and engage student creative works by exhibition. The well-loved, annual event is a large-scale, student-run showcase that features artists from the Herb Alpert School of Music, School of the Arts and Architecture, as well as the School of Theater, Film and Television. We had an excellent audience turnout last year, and received an abundance of glowing feedback from both featured artists and guests. 

This event will take place in the Schoenberg Music Building and will comprise an eclectic collection of musical acts, solo and/or group dance, visual art, film, theater, and much more. Selected “exhibits” will be interspersed throughout the building, while Schoenberg Art Walk attendees will roam the hallways and classrooms to interact with artists and appreciate their works. To apply to be a featured artist, please fill out this Google Form by Friday, February 16th @11:59 PM. Thank you! We look forward to showcasing your art to a wider audience and connecting you with other creative minds at UCLA.
