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.
SCAD invites current students, alumni, and faculty to submit original works on paper for Press Forward, the culminating exhibition of SCAD Atlanta’s inaugural Print Week. Curated by Ann Shafer, the exhibition will highlight contemporary approaches to paper as both material and site of inquiry, celebrating the expanded field of print and paper practices. Selected works will demonstrate technical rigor, conceptual depth, and material innovation.
The exhibition will be presented at SCADstudio, offering participating artists professional visibility within the SCAD community and Atlanta’s dynamic art scene.

**Please see terms and conditions below for more information**
Submission images must be a maximum of 72 PPI. Submitted artwork images will represent your artwork accurately for jurying purposes. Please submit images that are true representations of completed artwork. In the case of multiple entries, SCAD Art Sales encourages a concise body of work.
Multiple entries require multiple submission forms. Ex: An artist submitting 5 artworks will have to go through the online submission process 5 times.
Pricing: All work must be for sale. The Artist's Price is the amount submitted by you that reflects what the Artist will receive if the work is sold. The Artist's Price must include all presentation/framing costs. The Retail Price will be calculated by SCAD, adding a sales commission to the Artist's Price. Once submitted and accepted, prices cannot be changed by the artist unless requested by SCAD.
Accepted submissions will be reviewed for accurate artist pricing. If an artist does not respond to phone or e-mail outreach, SCAD Art Sales will correct the pricing or remove the piece from the online exhibition.
If an artist is unsure about pricing, they should ask a member of the Fine Arts faculty for assistance in determining the artist's price of their work.
Framing: Due to the nature of this exhibition featuring Works on Paper, all artworks must be ready to hang and look professional when installed. In most cases, this requires framing. All framing should look professional. "Glass with clips" and plastic craft store frames are not acceptable.
We look forward to seeing your submissions and celebrating the incredible work created within the Schools of Fine Arts. If you have any questions, please contact Gretchen Wagner (gwagner@scad.edu) or Bailey Brown (brbrown@scad.edu).
