Guidelines for Proposals for Future ExhibitionsHow to submit an exhibition proposal:
The Gallery Committee reviews all exhibition proposals on the basis of theme, quality, size (number of works vs. space available), media, uniqueness to SUA (have we done a similar exhibition in the recent past?) and proposed budget.
Theme considerations include: Does the proposed exhibition relate to Soka University's mission to foster a steady stream of global citizens committed to living a contributive life? Does the art relate to SUA's core values of peace, human rights and the sanctity of life? Does it relate to topics SUA students are studying or will be studying? Does it offer a unique insight into another country or culture?
Exhibitions are usually booked one to two years in advance. Proposals should include web links or digital or print images of works for committee review, background of artist, description including size and number of works, theme, title, proposed dates of exhibition, and estimated budget. (Budget considerations: Will artist hang works? Do hangers need to be hired? Shipping or transportation costs? Special needs?).
Proposals should be emailed or mailed to:
