Last Call! Submit your application here.

Since 1851, just 27 years after its founding, Tallahassee has been home to generations of students, including those of Florida State University today. In celebration of Tallahassee’s 200^th birthday in 2024, the FSU Libraries Art in the Library Committee announces a call for submissions for its forthcoming juried student art exhibition, 200 Years of Tallahassee: A View from Florida State. This show will debut in Strozier Library in May and will be on view for the rest of the year. The Art in the Library Committee seeks works of art that celebrate, remember, and interpret the sights, sounds, and voices of our city as told by the FSU student community.  

Artworks chosen for exhibition may touch on, but are not limited to, the following themes: 

• Favorite spots on campus and in and around Tallahassee
• Student Life
• Traditions
• Celebrations
• Day in the life
• Studying

Current FSU students are invited to submit 1-2 pieces of their artwork (photos, paintings, needlework, drawings, collages, etc.) that speak to the theme of celebrating the role of FSU and its relationship with Tallahassee on the Capital City’s Bicentennial.  

All submissions are due no later than April 5th, 2024.
