To display work in the exhibit, both BA and BFA students must present their work and have it accepted by art faculty review panels. The semester before the exhibit, BFA students must submit to art faculty proposals to create a body of work that focuses on a specific idea. After the idea is accepted by the faculty, the students receive faculty guidance through the creation process.
