Call for Proposal (PDF)
How do I apply for an exhibition?
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. Exhibition applications can be found online (http://www.kutztown.edu/admin/msu/forms/pdfs/artgallery.pdf) and in the Office of Student Union and
Involvement Services Office.
How many slides should I submit with my Exhibition Proposal Form?
At least three slides/digital images are required, however it is preferable to submit
images of ALL artwork you plan on displaying. The Exhibition Selection Committee reserves the right to reject artwork that has not been presented in slides (i.e. if the artwork is not in "ready to hang" condition).
How is the Student Union Art Gallery set up?
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.
How does the Exhibition Selection Committee choose exhibitions?
The Exhibition Selection Committee will choose approximately six exhibitions per semester. This committee will not edit work for content or level of experience of the artist. It is the goal of the
Student Union Art Gallery to encourage 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 gallery's exhibitions.
How long will the exhibitions last?
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 on Friday
mornings.
How do I promote my exhibition?
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,
AXIS TV, Central Calendar, the Keystone, Bear Essentials, and the McFarland Student Union website are also possible advertising spaces.
What will be provided to install the exhibitions?
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.
What is included with the opening reception for the exhibition?
The exhibition reception includes a $30.00 catering budget, sponsored by the David E. McFarland Student Union.
Can the
Student Union Art Gallery store my artwork after the exhibition has closed?
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.
