An "Intent to Exhibit" form (acquired from the Gallery Director) must be completed and on file in the Art Gallery office at least 18 months in advance of when the student desires to exhibit. Exhibitions are scheduled each academic year, typically in late fall and late spring semesters. The exhibit must be completed during coursework prior to graduation.
