Student Showcase: Art Installation Resources

Be sure to check the rubric for Art Installations at https://www.niagaracc.suny.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/NCCC-Student-Showcase-Art-Installation-Rubric-2019.pdf !

An Art Installation involves displaying 2D or 3D artwork to an audience at a specific time.

• Be prepared to describe your work in just a few minutes and to answer questions–probably to several people as they walk by your exhibit throughout the session.
• Consider producing at least one text panel that explains the rationale/inspiration for the project and any relevant reflection on the result of the project. This will help viewers to understand your project when you are not available to discuss it.
• Do not expect to store any other materials at the exhibition session site as the location may be open to the public (not secure). Bring all other belongings with you for your assigned session, and take them away with you when you leave.
• Exhibition space will NOT have access to electricity.
• If you have specific display requirements (e.g., a pedestal, easel, etc.), please be sure to describe your needs in full in the REQUIREMENTS section of your application form.
• Your artwork will be on display all day at a location assigned by the Showcase Planning Committee. You will be assigned a specific time frame (about one hour) to stand by your work.
