7.1 General Student Policies
7.1.5 Art Displays in Public Areas
Ithaca College supports the efforts of student artists who wish to display
their work. Installing art outside of gallery settings, however, can pose
unique problems if proper planning does not occur. The College is pleased
to assist student artists in their efforts through the following review
process, a process whose intent is to ensure that sites for installations
are appropriate.
A student who wishes to display artwork in a public location on campus
must submit a proposal to the dean of the School of Humanities and Sciences.
The proposal will be evaluated by a committee that consists of the dean
of the School of Humanities and Sciences, the chairperson of the Department
of Art, and the associate vice president for student affairs and campus
life. The committee will consult with other individuals (instructor, facility
manager, associate vice president for facilities management, director
of public safety, etc.) as needed to evaluate the suitability of the artwork
to be installed in relation to the location proposed for the installation.
This evaluation will focus primarily on issues of safety and security.
The student's proposal should include his or her conception of the installation,
the specific site for the installation, how long the artwork will be displayed,
and any other information that would assist the committee membership in
the evaluation. The College retains the right to determine which materials
are displayed in certain public locations.
Student artists should check with facility managers directly if they
wish to use display cases in certain buildings (e.g., Campus Center, Park
Hall) to exhibit their artwork. |
