Art Across Campus

The Clemson campus enjoys multiple exhibition spaces across campus showcasing artworks created by our students, faculty, alumni and regional community members.  Exhibitions are organized by the Clemson Curates Creative Inquiry team as part of their course work. Clemson Curates members coordinate exhibitions with students engaged in writing exhibition content, interpreting artworks, developing contracts, press releases and design pieces for exhibitions showcased across campus.
