The Tufts University Art Galleries (TUAG) Student Programming Committee (SPC) incorporates student voices into TUAG affairs to make TUAG resources more available and relevant to the student body. The Board will consist of 6 student members working under the guidance of the manager of academic programs and TUAG graduate fellow. SPC members will be expected to attend weekly meetings on Fridays from 1-2pm, attend and promote TUAG programs, and complete ~4 hours/month of work outside of the weekly meetings for a total of approximately 8 hours/month during the academic year. Board members will be compensated for 22 hours per semester.
Open to all class years of BA/BS, BFA, and dual-degree students. No art history or museum experience necessary. All majors are encouraged to apply —we are seeking diverse perspectives and experiences.
The Student Programming Committee will learn about the Galleries mission, vision, and programming, develop relationships with TUAG staff, and engage in professional growth opportunities, and insert student voices into general gallery affairs. The SPC will plan and offer monthly Friday programming connected with current exhibitions that are aimed at increasing student participation and engagement. The SPC will partner with other Tufts’ student organizations and other university museum student organizations to further deepen and connect their work to the larger student body. Some members of the SPC will also participate in TUAG working groups (i.e. Accessibility, Land Acknowledgment), TUAG-related committees (i.e. Gifts of Art and Public Art Committees), and/or be asked to provide feedback on curatorial or educational materials. The SPC may take field trips or attend programs to expand their knowledge of the field and participate in broader conversations about the role of the academic museum right now.
