EXHIBITIONS
ON-CAMPUS GALLERIES
CCAD campus galleries present an impressive array of
exhibition programming, including curated exhibitions of
contemporary work in art and design and CCAD faculty and
student exhibitions. Thesis exhibitions by Fine Arts seniors
are on display through most of the academic year. For gallery
hours, see “Building Locations and Hours” on p. 01.
STUDENT EXHIBITIONS
CCAD believes that student exhibitions are educational
as well as cultural. The college exercises some rights of
possession of student work for the purpose of furthering
education through display. Student work may even be chosen
to become part of the CCAD permanent collection or be used
in publications and promotional materials.
Without written permission from the exhibition chair, removal
of the work of others or oneself from displays, academic
areas, or the collection can result in disciplinary action.
STUDENT ARTWORK AND EXHIBITION POLICY
CCAD reserves the right to photograph, reproduce, display,
or retain works of art produced by students enrolled in its
academic programs. All works created by students while
attending CCAD may be displayed or reproduced by the
college without the student’s prior consent. Work left at the
college for more than one year is considered property of the
college and is subject to disposal by any means the college
administration chooses.
The sale, distribution, and consumption of alcohol are
prohibited at all senior thesis exhibition events. Violation of
this policy will result in the event’s cancellation or closing
and referral to the dean of students for disciplinary action,
which may result in the inability to graduate on time.
