APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

Before submitting your application: 

• You must review your application materials with a professor. This can be an MFA Thesis Advisor, a professor on your thesis committee, the professor of your pre-thesis or thesis course, or a graduate coordinator.

How to prepare your application: 

• Select and gather up to 5 images or videos of works that best represent your practice OR that you would like to include in your exhibition. Each image should only capture one work. 
• The image/video file names must follow this format: Last Name, First Name, "Title," date, media, dimensions. (Ex: Smith, John, “Landscape,” 2023, oil on canvas, 20 x 40 in.).
• Please visit Alexander Hall’s Gallery to understand the space for your exhibition. Refer to the floorplan (LINKED HERE) for wall dimensions, but please be advised these dimensions are approximate.

If your submission is accepted:

•  You must be available for installation and de-installation of your exhibition. Installations happen the week before the exhibition’s open date, and de-installations happen the week after the exhibition’s closing. You will be expected to install/de-install your works independently. 
• You must deliver, transport, or arrange the delivery of your works to Alexander Hall. These details will be decided in discussion with SCAD Curators.
   

PLEASE NOTE: SCAD reserves the right to reject applications that do not follow the guidelines, procedures, and deadlines outlined above. SCAD also reserves the right to prohibit exhibition of works that appear incomplete by the time of installation, or are different from the work(s) originally proposed in the original application.
