Return to annual Calendars of Exhibitions
What is included
These calendars reference exhibitions devoted primarily to American
representational art. Not all exhibitions submitted to TFAO are included
in calendars.
Excluded content includes:
- group exhibitions of artist organizations, faculties and students at
museums or art centers
- exhibits not deemed to be balanced in favor of American representational
art
- photography exhibits that feature photo-journalism or are by emerging
photographers
- computer-generated art exhibits
- video exhibits
Revisions of dates are accepted and encouraged in order for calendars
to be as accurate as possible. Exhibition dates may and do change without
notice. The deadline for inclusion in a current monthly calendar is the
first day of that month.
To make the most of your visit to an exhibition
If you are touring, you will find American representational
art venues to visit in Sources
of News Articles Indexed by State within the United States.
Call the museum in advance to see if you:
- can join a docent tour to interpret the exhibition
- need to make a reservation to have lunch in the
museum cafe
- can take your camera with you to take pictures
of the art
Exhibition dates may and do change without prior
notice from museums to TFAO. Always verify dates directly with museums before
visiting their exhibitions.
How TFAO updates calendars
Future calendars are updated in two ways:
Systematically:
- On a bimonthly basis, TFAO volunteers review the Calendar Update Schedule
(see A-C D-G H-L M-Q R-S
T-Z) to locate museums for which
their furthest exhibition closing month has expired. TFAO then reviews
the current and future exhibition sections of websites of targeted museums
for new information. TFAO then updates the Schedule's listings for the
targeted museums with new information by listing on the schedule the earlier
of: 1. the furthest exhibition closing month in time or 2. a month which
TFAO deems important for follow up. As a part of this review TFAO also
updates the related exhibition calendar to include information on newly
discovered exhibitions.
-
Occasionally:
- Future calendars and Calendar Update Schedules are checked and updated
on a continuous basis as information is received by email from museum sources.
How TFAO uses calendars
Towards the end of each month TFAO volunteers review the calendar for
all of the listed exhibition openings for that month. TFAO then reviews
published exhibition articles and essays in the sub-index page for each
related museum to determine if Resource Library has already published
an article or essay concerning each calendar listing. If Resource Library
has not yet published an article or essay, TFAO sends by email a request
for exhibition information to the museum. TFAO sends requests near the end
of the exhibition opening month to allow museums time to gather .jpg images
and texts from gallery guides, brochures or catalogues, exhibition wall
panels and labels, as well as press releases. TFAO requires six hundred
or more words of text to publish a Resource Library article or essay
for an exhibition.
For the current month inquiries have been made
through University of New Hampshire
Art Gallery
