Curatorial Proposals
The Walsh Library Gallery is committed to presenting exhibitions of significant and challenging themes. Our mission is to provide the region with a broad range of programming that appeals to the campus and surrounding communities. The Walsh Library Gallery welcomes proposals from curators and artists. Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis, there is no deadline. Please keep in mind that the gallery may be booked up to 1 year in advance depending upon the time your proposal is received. The exhibition season runs September through June. The Walsh Library Gallery presents five to six exhibitions annually. Although there may be exceptions, one-person exhibits are not encouraged.
Guidelines for Curators
The Walsh Library Gallery is 2,100 square feet with two 75' walls broken up largely by window space and two smaller 30' walls which are uninterrupted. The ceilings are 9'11" high. The lighting is both natural and incandescent. Please contact the gallery for floor plans. It is highly recommended that you visit the gallery prior to submitting your proposal. Curators are expected to be highly involved in the exhibition process, from beginning to end. In addition, curators will be required to be on the premises to receive, install and deinstall artwork.
