Oct 24th 2020

The Launch exhibition will feature work by 66 Master of Fine Arts and Master of Design alums from the SAIC class of 2020. Quite different in form and scope than a standard thesis exhibition, this show demonstrates the artists’ and designers’ resilience and the adaptability of their practices in this moment of prolonged upheaval and uncertainty.

It’s the first exhibition held at SAIC Galleries. SAIC Galleries is a vibrant, public art space that features the boundary-pushing work of emerging and established contemporary artists and designers. Opened in the fall of 2020, SAIC Galleries is part of a four-story gallery and studio space at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s (SAIC) 33 Building, located in the heart of Chicago’s Loop at 33 East Washington Street. SAIC Galleries offers 26,000 square feet of exhibition space for annual student and faculty shows, as well as special exhibitions featuring national and international artists, and is open to the public by appointment.
