GROUP OR JURIED EXHIBITION
Proposal Application
(Students applying to curate a group, solo or juried show)
At SAIC, we feel that exhibiting work is a vital part of an arts education.
The exhibition opportunities that we facilitate provide a forum for the
development and exchange of ideas among students, faculty, staff, and
visiting artists and curators. Proposals may be submitted for a variety of
projects including, but not limited to object–based and non-object forms of
artmaking such as: events, symposia, 2-D and 3-D work, and time–based media
such as film, video, web art and design, and performance.
STUDENT UNION GALLERIES (SUGS):
LG Space: #220B, Sharp Building, 27 S. Wabash Avenue
Gallery X: #113, Columbus Building, 280 S. Columbus Drive
These venues are available to artists seeking to present their work in a solo exhibition.
SUGs is a student-run organization that advocates student work by assisting exhibiting artists in all aspects
of the process. The novice as well as the experienced exhibitor is encouraged to seek experimental and
innovative modes of curation in any and all media. SUGs applications are reviewed by an all student
committee.
Please complete the fields below and submit this document with the
required materials listed on the following pages.

3
The submission of a model of the gallery space and the exhibition is
also encouraged a valuable planning tool.
Please also include the following:
Work samples
Applicants should submit samples that most appropriately represent the
proposed projects. Please submit the specific works to be included in
the exhibition, keeping in mind that at the time of application, 80%
of the exhibition work should be completed.
In the case of site specific installations that cannot or have not
been built before, please provide documentation of earlier work or a
sample section or mock-up of the installation that both illustrates
the qualities of the work, and shows the artist‟s capability to build
the proposed installation.
In the case of a juried show, curators should provide samples of work
from the professional art world or otherwise that could represent the
type of work desired. Additionally, curators should submit a draft of
a „call for artists.‟
Note: It is advantageous to include a few different images of pieces
for which it is difficult to gage scale. Among these, a clear
reproduction, an installation shot and a detail are helpful.
Do NOT submit actual artwork or master documentation. Samples will NOT
be returned. All documentation and its protective case/cover must be
labeled with the applicant‟s name and contact information.
Please submit per artist:
2-3 images (jpegs) or
3 minutes of video (on CD or DVD), or
3 minutes of audio (on CD or DVD), or
The root folders of up to 2 web based works (on CDRom)
Instructions for work sample submissions:
Digital Images
Only digital images will be accepted. An Image Identification Sheet
must accompany all images. This sheet requires you to list the
artist(s) name(s), title, year completed, media and
dimensions/duration of each work. Media descriptions must be
specific: Do not use MIXED MEDIA. Media will indicate materials used,
not process of creation. The committee refers to this information
while viewing the documentation.
When submitting digital images, media must be Mac compatible. Title
the media with the applicant name or group proposal liaison name. For
example, Jackson Pollock‟s disk would be called “Jackson Pollock”.
• Submit only jpeg files: other file formats will not be viewed.
• Submit only one image per file
4
• All files should be RGB, no more than 1024 pixels wide and
768 pixels high,
sized at 72 dpi, and oriented to correctly represent the
object.
• Files must use the following naming convention to sort properly
in the multimedia viewing process:
The first five letters of the applicant last name, (use the
underscore if your name is less than 5 letters) followed by the
first initial, then 2 digits that correspond to the number of the
image on the identification sheet of the application, followed by
“.jpg” For example, Jackson Pollock‟s or Maya Lin‟s files would
look like this:
PolloJ01.jpg or Lin_ _M01.jpg
PolloJ02.jpg or Lin_ _M02.jpg
PolloJ03.jpg or Lin_ _M03.jpg
PolloJ04.jpg or Lin_ _M04.jpg
Digital documentation for group applications will reference the
applicant name, not the artist name. Image numbers in the file name
should reference 01, 02, 03... 19, 20, these file numbers will also
correspond to the image documentation sheet numbers.
Time Based Documentation
A 4D Identification Sheet must accompany all audio/video samples.
Please edit, video or audio to three-minute sections for the
committee‟s viewing/listening. Documentation for all visual 4D works
must be submitted in CD, DVD, or as the root folder of a web based
work. Do not submit CD or DVD without its cover, proper label
information, and description. If using a padded envelope, use bubble
wrap envelopes only (Materials submitted in fiber-padded envelopes
will not be reviewed: loose fiber material may damage player decks).
If submitted documentation is not of the proposed presentation, please
complete the
Time Arts Documentation Sheet. Include a description of the included
works, in addition to an explanation of how the documentation relates
to the work you intend to present. State clearly whether this will be
an installed gallery presentation OR as an evening of time arts
presentations.
All web-based artworks, i.e. a website as a work of art, (not a
website as a tool to view other images of other multiple artworks you
have created) should be submitted by including the entire root folder
on a CD/DVD. Use your name as the title of the CD/DVD.
Identification forms can be found on the following pages.
Please be sure to complete and attach the appropriate forms to your
application
