Do you have an exhibition idea you’ve always wanted to bring to life? Some research that you’d like to show in a new, creative or provocative way? Center Space Gallery is open for proposals! We’re looking for three exhibitions for the 2017-2018 calendar.

Not sure what Center Space is?

The Center Space Gallery in the Visual Arts Center is available to the students of the University of Texas at Austin to curate thematic group or solo exhibitions of their own work or the work by others. Center Space Project, under the auspices of the Visual Arts Center, is a student-run organization that advocates student work by assisting exhibiting artists in all aspects of the process. Both novice and experienced exhibitors are encouraged to seek experimental and innovative modes of curation in any and all media: 2-D, 3-D, digital media, performance (live and recorded), and other experiential forms.

Call for proposals

This call for exhibition proposals is open to all undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students at UT Austin. Center Space applications are reviewed by an all-student committee along with Visual Arts Center staff.

Curators of selected proposals will be asked to develop a public program/event related to the exhibition, and will be assisted by the Center Space Project all-student committee along with VAC faculty and staff in the process. It is not required to include programming ideas in the proposals, but applicants should consider them while developing the exhibition and its narrative.

Three proposals will be selected: two for Fall 2017 and one for Spring 2018.

The deadline is March 20. Applications and more information can be found at https://utexasgrad.slideroom.com/#/permalink/program/35549/7YNcVtOoLt.
