The call for applications of the 27th edition of the “Mostra art públic / universitat pública” is open until 23 April. It is an initiative organised by the Student Council Branch and the Information and Promotion Service for Students (Sedi), with the collaboration of the Office of the Vice-Principal for Culture and Society.

The call is open to visual artists of any age who are interested in creating a temporary artistic work of art for the Burjassot Campus or Blasco Ibáñez Campus that attempts to bring contemporary art closer to laboratory sciences and social and human sciences.

The “Mostra” will take place during the months of October and November and will host up to twelve projects that will receive an endowment of €2,000 each for their execution. Among the criteria for evaluating the projects, in addition to the usual ones referring to artistic quality or the adaptation of the artistic interventions to the architectural space of the campuses, within the framework of the celebration of the 525th anniversary of the Universitat de València, it will also be taken into account that the projects incorporate some of the values of the Universitat: commitment to identity, excellence, innovation, social and economic progress, transparency, justice, equality, solidarity and cooperation, and sustainability.

The aim of the “Mostra art públic / universitat pública”, that reaches its 27th edition this year, is to transform the university environment into a place of artistic intervention open to society.
