SAIC promotes crossing disciplines and challenging assumptions through a range of theory- and skill-based coursework, and the results of this approach are showcased in this exhibition. Tiffany Holmes, Dean of Undergraduate Studies, says, "The Fall Undergraduate Exhibition is the culminating event for our artists, designers, and scholars who developed their practices by designing their own curricular pathways in order to investigate new configurations of ideas, processes, and materials."
