Galleries
Exhibitions play a major role in both academic and student
life at the College. You will have many opportunities to show
your work, beginning in your freshman year. The exhibitions
program supports and expands our studio curriculum by providing
students with many opportunities to share their work as it
evolves; by showcasing the work of faculty, offering insights
into your teachers’ approaches to art-making and critique;
and by mounting significant exhibitions that support students’
understanding of contemporary art trends in a wide array of
media. Innovative exhibitions generated and developed here
have garnered national and international attention, traveled
across the country, and featured a diverse group of major
artists. Accompanying programming includes artist residencies,
lectures, and symposia that provide you with the opportunity
to work with and understand the many artists associated with
these exhibitions. Opening receptions allow you to interact
with the artist in an informal setting and add a special dimension
to the MICA social scene.
Three major gallery spaces on campus mount curated exhibitions
by outside artists and exhibitions of faculty and student
work: the Decker and Meyerhoff
Galleries in the Fox Building and the Pinkard Gallery in the
Bunting Center. Additional galleries in Bunting, Fox, Main,
Meyerhoff House, and Brown Center and numerous informal exhibition
spaces across campus are devoted to student work. Students
regularly create installations in campus public spaces. With
nearly 100 exhibitions each year, you literally cannot go
to class without passing an exhibition.
