Michigan Technological University invites students, staff, faculty, and community members to submit original artwork honoring the legacy and impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As part of the 2026 MLK Day Celebration and the theme “United through Service,” this exhibit showcases creative reflections on justice, unity, service, and Dr. King’s enduring influence.

All submitted pieces will be displayed in the Van Pelt and Opie Library Exhibit Area from Friday, January 16th through Monday, January 26th. Artwork will also be featured during the MLK Celebration Dinner so attendees can enjoy and engage with the pieces.

We welcome visual art of all forms—including drawings, paintings, graphic art, photography, mixed media, and written or illustrated tributes.
