OSL Student Gallery Board

With a desire from students to have more exhibition space, several student galleries sponsored by the Office of Student Life have arisen. These spaces seek to create a place of engagement where a dialog
can happen. A dialog wherein students can learn and grow. Through this process, an appreciation of community is created which is centered on art and the role it plays in the intricacy of bringing human interaction and culture to our everyday lives. Students have the opportunity to be part of a show or to create and curate one of their own by working with the Gallery Board. They are encouraged to work independently at their own pace, allowing them to become comfortable in the initial steps of
displaying work to the public. The experience provides necessary and beneficial skills for life after RISD.

OSL's Mission is to establish and promote contemporary RISD community art and design exhibitions, through a process of providing students the creative infrastructure and networking resources to show their art, all in an effort to further students connection with faculty, alumni and the Rhode Island art community in a relaxed, yet professional atmosphere.

The Student Gallery Board is comprised of undergraduates and graduates who have a passion
to promote the exhibition of student artwork on campus and beyond. Several shows are planned throughout the year to be viewed by the RISD community. Knowledge of management, curating, recruiting, marketing and advertising skills, as well as meeting with guest curators, visiting galleries and connecting with alumni are provided through this program.
