Non-gallery spaces

Galleries are not the only exhibition spaces at the school. Many students make proposals to install artwork in hallways, outside spaces, public meeting rooms, or other unconventional places. The Office of Exhibition Practices reviews proposals and works with students and faculty to realize these projects in and around the school community and will work with students to facilitate off-campus projects as well.

The Video Hall
The Video Hall, located in the entrance way of the Sharp Building, provides an exhibition space to display film, video, and animation pieces as well as an opportunity to show static, 2-D and 3-D work digitally. Exhibiting artists are invited to use the surrounding walls in addition to the flat screens for their installations. Work shown rotates every 5 to 6 weeks. Located in the Sharp Building, 37 S. Wabash.
