End Date

Session Description
Parents are becoming increasingly vocal about the need for job skills and career experience in the visual arts. This is filtering down to funding agencies and governing bodies in higher education resulting in a need to expand the visual arts curriculum beyond the typical studio based education.
To augment a visual arts education is a student run gallery becoming more of a necessity in the curriculum? How can this experience be included without increasing time to graduation? How can this be added to the departmental program without increasing work loads or need for a new budget line? Can it be self sustaining?
This session will present start up programs and cite galleries that have been successful. Materials will be discussed to begin or expand a gallery experience for undergraduate art majors.
