Students are supported in this endeavor by our Gallery Coordinator, who provides information to students about the professional protocols for exhibit installation. Students are assigned gallery space one semester in advance. Seniors work closely with their Concentration Advisor and the Gallery Coordinator to define the scope of their work and identify the specific installation requirements for their show. Once the show is installed, seniors are required to have their show critiqued by two faculty members.
Senior Capstone Exhibitions are required to be up for a period of one week. Designated exhibition locations within the List Art Building include the first floor inner lobby, the second floor hallway, Gallery 221 (on the second floor), the third floor hallway, and the fifth floor hallway. Other student exhibition spaces are available outside of the List Art Building with prior approval from a faculty advisor and the VA Gallery Coordinator.
Dates and List Art Building spaces for Senior Capstone Exhibitions are determined by lottery. The first semester lottery takes place in September, and the second semester lottery takes place in November.
