The School of the Environment, the OISE Library, and OISE's Sustainability & Climate Action Network (SCAN) invite students across the University of Toronto tri-campus to submit their work to the 2026 Sustainability Thinking Exhibition, which will be held the week of March 2nd, 2026.

The Exhibition is an exploration of sustainability topics and environmental issues through the arts, including visual and installation art, digital media, music, or other forms of creative communication. This year's theme for the Exhibition is "Navigating the Planetary Crisis through the Arts: The University and the Polycrisis." The theme guides the Exhibition's accompanying events - however, artwork does not have to relate to this theme. We invite art submissions on any topic related to the environment, sustainability, or the climate crisis and related crises. 

Please carefully review the form and this Exhibition webpage before finalizing your submission.
