Next term the Jordan Schnitzer Art Museum of Art will host a new collection of sculptures, drawings, and abstract art illuminating the elegance of the human body in all its diverse forms. All Sizes Fit UO, “a positive body image campaign at the University of Oregon,” will put on its All Sizes Fit art show in an effort to increase body positivity and acceptance through the representation of all sizes through the power of portrayal in art.
Supported by the University Counseling Center, All Sizes Fit is a group that aims to encourage both positive body image, and spark discussion about eating disorders and body dysmorphia. This art show will be a physical manifestation of the group’s efforts to see all bodies in beautiful and artistic ways, and actively engage students in this discussion.
It is open to student work, as they are accepting submissions of art in any medium, as long as it embodies the All Sizes Fit philosophy toward bodies: Attention, Appreciation, Acceptance. Submissions will stay open until March 28th. This collection will express what body positivity means to people all over campus. In addition, the top three pieces of artwork will be awarded Duck Store gift cards of $75, $100, with a grand prize of $150.
After all of the submissions are reviewed, the art show will take place on April 7 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. It will display all submissions for those attending to appreciate the different interpretations of body image.
