SCAD Atlanta welcomes exhibition inquiries and proposals from faculty of all departments to showcase current student artwork in Trois Gallery. 

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, but priority will be given to exhibitions showcasing 2D work with intent to show during the Fall and Spring quarters. The SCAD Exhibitions Team will not accept exhibition inquiries that are submitted 2 months prior to the anticipated exhibition date.  

If accepted, the SCAD Exhibitions Team will offer guidance to the department on how best to realize the exhibition, including offering templates for wall labels and layouts/floor plans. SCAD Exhibitions Team will also oversee the maintenance and upkeep of the gallery space, schedule SCAD art handlers to install artworks, source pedestals (if needed), and create signage for the exhibition title. The department will be responsible for:

• Creating and advertising the call for entry, if needed
• Gathering student and artwork information to prepare a checklist
• Ensuring all exhibited work is properly framed
• Producing wall labels for each work on view
• Planning and covering expenses for the reception and catering, if desired
• Scheduling photography/exhibition documentation, if desired
• Ensuring all works are deinstalled after the closing date

PLEASE NOTE: This is not an application for current undergraduate students, alumni, or individual faculty members to propose solo projects or exhibitions. Current graduate students interested in showcasing their thesis exhibitions in Trois Gallery should submit their materials via the SCAD Submittable MFA Thesis Exhibition open call.
