CWAC Exhibitions presents student- and course-curated exhibitions in the Cochrane-Woods Art Center. This opportunity provides a supported environment for short-term exhibitions on the University’s academic calendar. We encourage new curators, student artists, and those looking for additional curatorial experience in a non-traditional setting to apply.
Open Call for Proposals
CWAC Exhibitions wants to hear your ideas! The call for exhibition proposals for academic year 2024-25 is now open. Proposals will be evaluated on a rolling basis. For more information about potential exhibition sites and our evaluation criteria, please visit our guide to Preparing a Proposal for CWAC Exhibitions. We invite you to complete the CWAC Exhibitions Call for Proposals online form or to email the CWAC Exh team to set up a consultation to develop your idea.
