Student Organization Handbook
The HUB Art Gallery
The HUB Art Gallery is intended to showcase original
artwork and other cultural/artistic displays by students, faculty and
staff. Priority is given in the following order:
- Original artwork produced by UW Students
- Original artwork produced by UW faculty and
staff
- Other student-sponsored artistic, cultural or educational displays
- Other faculty
or staff sponsored artistic, cultural or educational displays
- Original artwork produced by
UW alumni (quarter breaks and Summer Quarter Only)
Display cases may be reserved for one to two weeks depending on the number of applicants in a particular
quarter. Reservation periods will be 12:00 p.m., Monday to Monday. If an applicant cannot fill both
display cases then two applicants may be asked to share the gallery. Each will be given an individual
display case. The user is responsible for mounting and removing the display. Users may request use
of hanging rods, or use pushpins to mount work. Prohibited hanging materials include tape, staples,
nails and glue.
Exhibits must be approved for display by the SAUF Art Gallery Coordinator and may be submitted for
approval by an SAUF committee. Exhibits will not be approved for display if they advocate ballot propositions
or candidates who have filed for public office, or if they actively promote discrimination of individuals
and groups based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability,
or status as a veteran (see Washington Administration code 478-136, Use of University Facilities).
Decisions may be appealed to the Director of SAUF.
Displays must also clearly state the name of the artist/organization represented and include contact
information, such as a telephone number or e-mail address.
Sales or the display of prices within the area of the Art Gallery must be approved by the SAUF Art
Gallery Coordinator and may be submitted for approval by a SAUF committee. In accordance with state
policy, SAUF must realize some benefit from hosting sales in the gallery, such as facility fees, commission,
or a piece of art of the SAUF Art Committee’s choosing. Terms of sale will be negotiated via
written contract between the artist/organization and the SAUF.
Requests for space may be made at any time. While applicants will generally be placed in the order
requests are received, the Gallery Coordinator reserves the right to consider the variety of shows
when scheduling displays.
Applicants will request space by completing a HUB Art Gallery Request Form and a HUB Art Gallery Information
and Liability Waiver. The waiver exempts SAUF from any loss or damage to the displays resulting from
vandalism, theft, fire or natural disaster. Applicants will also agree, by signature, to be responsible
for any damage to the Art Gallery caused by them or their displays. The coordinator will review all
requests and schedule dates on a space available basis. The reservation will be held until four weeks
prior to the scheduled show, to allow time for completion of the forms. If the forms are not returned
by said date, then the space is forfeit. Forfeited reservations will be reassigned to others waiting
for space.
Users may go to the Student Activities Office (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) to check
out keys with a current UW ID. After 5:00 p.m. and all day on weekends, users should request gallery
access from the student Building Coordinator, via the HUB Newsstand.
Any questions regarding the HUB Art Gallery may
be directed to the HUB Art Gallery Coordinator, Student Activities Office,
207 HUB, 206-543-2380.
