Two directors reported that they have nothing specific in mind at this time. The University of San Francisco Gallery is being moved to the California School of Arts and Crafts, where faculty exhibitions will continue. Regarding a gallery production class, seven directors reported that no class was available and four said the university did offer a class associated with the gallery. The U.C., Davis has plans for a gallery class that will combine students from art history, design, anthropology, and studio art. The U.C., Los Angeles offers a gallery class every other year.
Most universities sponsor a faculty exhibition in some form.
Those schools that incorporate gallery talks, performances, brochures, catalogs and video presentations, such as C.S.U.galleries at Humboldt and Northridge, appeared to be the most positive about the results of their faculty exhibitions. Faculty, along with student and community participants also appeared to respond more enthusiastically to such approaches. While themes were considered to be limiting by some directors, those from U.C., Irvine and California State University, Stanislaus reported that they were well received. The directors at C.S.U., Humboldt, Northridge, Stanislaus, Long Beach and U. C., Irvine that viewed their faculty exhibitions as successful reported that the exhibitions not only gave the faculty a venue for presenting their work to the university, but also aided students in choosing courses of study and acted as a cultural link to the community at large. Undertake a variety of measures to broaden the scope and impact of the exhibition, thereby encouraging faculty participation.
