BA in Art Degree First-Year Exhibition
As an Art major, you will embark on a first-year exhibition project in the spring of your first year. The first-year exhibition is an opportunity for you to display your work with your first-year cohort in a group exhibition with a public reception. This offers an exciting opportunity to consider your progress and direction as you celebrate your accomplishments.
Senior Overview and Show
Art majors must successfully complete a senior overview and participate in the senior show held at the end of the Spring semester in the Cecille R. Hunt Gallery. The senior overview usually consists of work done during the final semester of senior year in one of your chosen studio areas.
The work can be either a part of a regular studio course or a studio-related independent study. The instructor for that course becomes your senior overview advisor. Work submitted is subject to approval by your senior overview advisor and the director for the senior show. Art majors graduating at the completion of a summer term are expected to exhibit in the show prior to completion of coursework.
