The Office of Exhibition Practices was created to provide an integrated academic and administrative unit responsible for developing and maintaining curriculum-based exhibition opportunities both in the School and the outside community. Exhibition Practices operates out of the Office of the Deans and Division Chairs and functions in coordination with the Department of Exhibitions/Exhibition Studies. Through these two departments, exhibitions and other public events engage students in continually rethinking the assumptions and practices that surround art and its presentation. To support this engagement, the Office of Exhibition Practices oversees the Student Union Galleries (SUGs), Exhibitions Studies, and On-Campus Installation Proposals for projects in non-gallery spaces.
This online Exhibition Resource Center is a website that organizes SAIC’s exhibition spaces; including maps, photos and floor plans. Look here for proposal forms, due dates, application tips and examples, in addition to current listings of exhibitions happening on and off campus.
