Galleries
Red Eye Gallery
Woods-Gerry Gallery is one of the primary exhibition spaces for RISD undergraduates. Located in RISD's Woods-Gerry Mansion, the gallery's four large exhibition spaces provide an excellent opportunity to showcase RISD student work. In the fall, Woods-Gerry hosts departmental triennials, including the Photography Triennial (October 23 to November 2, 2008). During the spring, seniors show their degree project work, usually in conjunction with another department.
Sol Koffler Graduate Gallery
Sol Koffler Gallery is the primary exhibition space for RISD's graduate students. Located in the Mason Building at 169 Weybosset Street, the gallery hosts graduate biennial exhibitions throughout the academic year. In addition to the biennials, graduate students are also invited to submit original curatorial proposals for special gallery shows, which are then juried and chosen for exhibition. During the week before graduation, a group show of selected second-year graduate student work is held every year.
RISD Museum
The Graduate Thesis Exhibition, in which MFA students show an excerpt from the body of work presented as their thesis, is held in the RISD Museum every May. The prestige of the museum and the quality of the presentations make the RISD Graduate Exhibition and exciting end-of-the-year event for the RISD community and the public at large.
Located on the fourth floor of the Design Center, the Red Eye Gallery is the main exhibition space for the department. At the beginning of every academic year, incoming graduate students are invited to show their work in the gallery. After this initial show, the gallery hosts a variety of departmental shows. Recent works shown in the gallery include inkjet prints generated by pinhole camera negatives (from Joe Deal's Photo I class) and looped projections (from Eva Sutton's Virtual Photograph class). Every Spring, the Red Eye Gallery hosts the Photography senior thesis shows. For these seniors, it is an excellent opportunity to refine and present a coherent body of finished work. During this process, seniors pick a partner for their two-person show and the gallery is divided in half. Each senior then modifies their half of the gallery to best showcase their degree project. Final senior critiques are held every week in the Spring, from March until June. Seniors also show their degree project work in a Senior Degree Project Group Exhibition in RISD's Woods-Gerry Gallery.
