This & That Galleries

Located on the first floor of the UW Visual Arts Building, the This & That Galleries are designated spaces that provide undergraduate students within the Art & Art History program the opportunity to exhibit their creative work.  Students gain professional experience by proposing a solo or group show. Once accepted, the student(s) organize the exhibition space and plan the receptions, and they advertise and promote the work by participating in interviews with local newspapers and radio stations.  Exhibitions rotate every 2-3 weeks and students are allowed to have two exhibition slots before they graduate. Gallery Hours : Concurrent with Visual Art Building hours, closed on weekends.
