Every semester, the Assistant for Promotions and Events reserves space in Gallery One and the Front Gallery for BFA exhibitions.

• Fall Semester: Approximately the last two weeks of November and/or first two weeks of December will be available in Gallery One and the Front Gallery. Exact dates are dependent upon other scheduled exhibitions.
• Spring Semester: Approximately the last two weeks of April and/or first two weeks of May will be available in Gallery One and the Front Gallery. Exact dates are dependent upon other scheduled exhibitions.

Students are responsible for notifying the Assistant for Promotions and Events of their intent to have their BFA Thesis Exhibition, immediately after their first senior thesis meeting, by submitting an exhibition proposal to the Assistant for Promotions and Events. In the second month of the first senior thesis semester, a mandatory BFA Thesis Exhibition meeting will be held to discuss and establish an exhibition calendar. Students are required to submit a $100 check or cash exhibition deposit. Main campus students submit payment to Departmental Administrative Associate. Craft Center students submit payment to Assistant for Promotions and Events.

Once submissions have been received and reviewed, the Assistant to Promotions and Events will assign exhibition dates with consultation of the Director of the School of Art, Craft & Design. The number of students requesting space will determine assignment of both space and dates. The final schedule will be announced by the end of the first semester of senior thesis.

Solo shows will be granted to students based on exhibition gallery availability, scale of work and student justification. There is no guarantee that space will be available for one-person shows.

Students may seek alternative space with the approval of the senior thesis committee and the Director of the School of Art, Craft & Design.

At the beginning of the semester graduating students are scheduled to have their exhibitions, the Assistant for Promotions and Events will hold a mandatory meeting where gallery procedures, postcards and publicity, artist statements, reception dates and other pertinent items will be discussed. This is opportunity for students to talk to exhibitions staff about any questions or concerns they may have. Please check email for dates of the mandatory meeting.

At the close of BFA exhibitions, students are responsible for returning the space to its original condition. Walls are to be patched with spackle and paint, pedestals patched, painted and returned to storage, and the floor vacuumed/cleaned. Ceiling tiles will be checked for any damage. The student must meet with the Assistant for Promotions and Events on a pre-arranged date to check the condition of the gallery at the end of the exhibition. If there is no damage, the deposit is returned.
