In honor of the upcoming CT Health Equity Week (April 6th – 10th, 2026), UConn Student Health and Wellness is curating a gallery that moves beyond statistics.
We are looking for student artists!
Help us visualize what it means (and what it feels like) to strive for a world where everyone has a fair shot at being healthy. Use your talent to educate the campus community on vital social issues.
We want to see your interpretation of:
-Barriers to Care: What does the "invisible wall" of healthcare look like?
-Community Healing: How do neighborhoods care for one another outside of hospital walls?
-The Future of Justice: What does a perfectly equitable healthcare system look like in your wildest dreams?
We are accepting a wide range of mediums. Whether you’re a digital illustrator, a sculptor, or a poet, your voice belongs here.
