Call for submissions
Arts Matters 2025 submissions
We are pleased to invite undergraduate students in humanities, social sciences, and creative disciplines to apply to share their work at the 10th Arts Matters Conference. Arts Matters is an interdisciplinary conference, so we encourage submissions from a wide range of subject areas. We will be accepting abstracts and project descriptions from all social sciences, humanities, and liberal arts disciplines. Participation in Arts Matters is FREE.
We are accepting abstracts for conference presentations in either French or English and we encourage the submission of creative work and multimedia projects* as well.
We welcome individuals from all backgrounds to share their academic work and creative projects. Students are encouraged to submit academic and creative work on all topics.
Participants can also choose to submit work that speaks to our conference theme. This year’s theme is "Learning through community: collaborative approaches to creating and knowing".
If you have a project that you would love to share but you don’t know if it fits, please send us your abstract as we are looking to build a highly diverse program of presentations.
Accepted presenters will be invited to give a 12-15 minute presentation during one of the conference panels on March 21 and 22, 2025.
*If you plan to present a creative project with a visual component (e.g. visual art project, digital art, etc), include images of your work with your project description.
Registration to attend the conference will open in 2025.
