**This course is only for College Arts Access Program (CAAP) students and is closed to outside registrants.**
Art does not end when you finish a piece; sharing your work with the public plays a vital role in the artistic process and deserves equal consideration. In this course, students explore traditional and contemporary presentation methods, ranging from high-end galleries and museums to online exhibitions and artist-run shows. In addition to in-class examinations of what an exhibition can be and its impact on how artwork is viewed/received, students organize and assemble their exhibition, from marketing to presentation choices, artist statements, and installation to the opening reception. Visits to the Art Institute of Chicago, SAIC's Sullivan and SITE Galleries, and other Chicago venues help inform discussion and research. Students should have finished portfolio-quality work that they are ready to exhibit before taking this course, as it does not cover studio time or techniques.
