Exhibition applications can be found online for both the Student Union Art Gallery (SUAG Application) and the Brick Wall Exhibit Space (Brick Wall Application and Juried Show Information) as well as in the Student Union and Involvement Services office, MSU 274.

Exhibition applications along with slides/digital images of the work to be exhibited and an artist's statement (which describes the artistic perspective and the artwork that will be exhibited) must be submitted to the Operations Office, McFarland Student Union Room 274. 

At least three slides/digital images are required, however it is preferable to submit images of ALL artwork you plan on displaying.  The Art Gallery Coordinators reserve the right to reject artwork that has not been presented in slides (i.e. if the artwork is not in "ready to hang" condition). 

The Gallery consists of three walls with a built in lighting system.  Two-dimensional artwork will be hung using the existing hanging system.  Nothing can be hung by screws in the walls.

 

The Brick Wall is one long wall space with room for 6-8 flat hanging pieces, but also has space for 3D pieces in front of the wall. All hung pieces must be installed using the existing hanging system. We will not accept artwork requiring screws or nails to hang. 

The Art Gallery Coordinators will choose approximately six/seven exhibitions per semester per gallery space.  Proposals that exhibit a strong sense of cohesiveness are preferred. There are little restrictions in terms of content in the Art Gallery. However, due to the high volume of traffic by the Brick Wall, work with potentially offensive material are not encouraged.  It is the goal of the Student Union Art Gallery and the Brick Wall to promote artistic expression in all media and in all levels of skill.  The Kutztown University Community is diverse, and this diversity should be expressed freely in the art galleries’ exhibitions.

Generally, exhibitions will be on a two-week rotation period:  installations will be on Friday afternoons, receptions will be the week following installation, and closings will be Thursday mornings. 

Flyers, invitations, and postcards are good ways to promote exhibitions around campus.  The Gallery Coordinator will advertise for the artist in various ways including: Daily Brief, Carousel TV, Central Calendar, the Keystone, Bear Essentials, and the McFarland Student Union website are also possible advertising spaces. 

The Student Union Art Gallery is equipped with a hanging system for two-dimensional work and display stands, if available, will be provided for three-dimensional work.  All artwork that is to be exhibited should be in "ready to hang" condition (i.e. framed or mounted).  Installation of the exhibition will occur on the Friday before the opening reception with the assistance of the Art Gallery Coordinator.

The exhibition reception includes a $35.00 catering budget, sponsored by the David E. McFarland Student Union.

The exhibitor must break down the art show at the scheduled date and time as storage of art overnight or for extended periods is not permitted.
