COLLEGE STUDENT EXHIBITIONS:

Due to the educational emphasis of BFA, MA, MFA exhibitions, all aspects of exhibition preparation and installation must be completed by the student. Like shows held on campus, student artists are required to design their own postcards, title-wall vinyl, print materials, and to write their own press releases. KSC assists with printing postcards, banners, and vinyl, and provides publicity via social media, website promotion, and email invitations. However, students are strongly encouraged to do their own promotion, as well, to learn various avenues to promote themselves. Openings occur in conjunction with Art Walk, like other KSC shows.
