EDUCATION
GALLERY VISITS and TOURS
UCA faculty, staff and students visit the gallery at their convenience during regular open hours, or upon appointment with the director. Optional commentary includes: a short overview of the exhibitions on view, a 30-minute orientation to the exhibits with discussion and explanation of selected works, or a presentation tailored to class objectives provided by the instructor or professor. Advance notice is appreciated.
Off-campus individuals and groups are encouraged to contact the gallery director for information regarding driving and parking directions, open hours and reception schedules, and age-suitability of exhibition contents.
Presentations by visiting artists and lecturers are publicized in print media and online: the latter is the most current information. These presentations are open to all students, faculty and staff, and the general public at no charge.

The internship contract is for 30 hours per semester (average of 2 hours a week). Upon satisfactory completion of the contract, the student may reference the experience, and the director as a reference, in a resume. Contact the gallery director for further information.
