This handbook contains explanations, procedures and rules
relevant to your success and wellbeing in the community of artists
that forms our art department.
Please read through it as soon as
possible—keep it handy. Its pages
will explain many aspects of the
program. This handbook will
guide you through the next two
years; use it as a reference.
Course Requirements
CGU’s MFA program is designed
to be completed in four semesters
of 15 units each semester. The
total of 60 units is broken down as
follows:
• 8 units Survey of Contemporary Art (two 4 unit classes)
• 8 units Ideas in Contemporary Art (two 4 unit classes)
• 4 units Written Statement
Seminar (two 2 unit classes;
one in the second semester
and one in the third)

■■ Studio Units
Key to the CGU Art program are
the one-on-one meetings with
faculty. The studio units you sign
up for will be fulfilled by setting
1
ART DEPARTMENT
2015/16 HANDBOOK
Adjunct Faculty
meetings with individual faculty
members.
The adjunct faculty consists of three
groups: studio art faculty, academic
instruction faculty and visiting faculty. Studio art faculty are available
for studio units and to serve on
committees. Academic instruction
faculty teach courses and are not
available for studio units or committee membership. Visiting faculty are
available for studio units but do not
serve on committees.
■■ Seminar and Lecture Units
Non-studio units consisting of lecture courses and seminars require
attendance in a classroom setting.
Content of the course is at the discretion of the instructor.
THE ART FACULTY
Several types of art faculty are
available to you. Each is a resource
for the educational program you
design for yourself.
Adjunct faculty available for studio
units and serving on MFA committees:
• Anne Bray
• Carmine Iannaccone
• John Millei
• Michael Reafsnyder
Core Faculty
The core faculty is your primary
resource for the duration of your
graduate studies. All will help you
explore issues of form and style, as
well as philosophic perspectives,
technological resources and career
strategies. They are:
•
•
•
Adjunct available for academic
instruction are:
• Carmine Iannaccone
• Matthew McGarvey
David Amico (on sabbatical

SCHEDULING
APPOINTMENTS FOR
STUDIO UNITS
get a different view about your current work.
To ensure fairness in meeting
scheduling and to discourage taking
more meetings than one can handle, only 14 calendar days after the
current day are open for students to
schedule these “free” meetings. In
the beginning of the semester, 14
days are opened up for free scheduling, and each night when one day
ends another day opens up.
In order to schedule meetings for
the first time, students must register
with Appointment Plus. They can
do so by going to the CGU website,
www.cgu.edu/art and clicking on
the “Appointment Plus” link on the
bottom, center of the screen. They
will be prompted to register, but
must have a member of the office
staff open their login before they are
able to sign in and select meetings.
When selecting a login, e-mail and
password, the choice is completely
free to the student and does not
necessarily need to correlate to their
CGU e-mail, etc.
All meetings after registration are
given on a first-come, first-served
basis. Because some meetings are
highly sought after, you should plan
which meeting you want most and
be prepared to register online as
early as possible. Studio meetings
open up for scheduling at 12:00 am
14 days beforehand.
You may cancel meetings via the
Appointment Plus website, but if
you need to cancel or reschedule
a meeting within two days or that is
more that 14 days in the future you
must see the office secretary to allow access to the restricted areas of
the calendar.
Visiting Artist Lecturer
Meetings
There are a limited number of
studio appointments available with
the artists from the Visiting Artist
Lecture Series (VALS). You may
only make appointments with two
of the artists from the VALS per
semester, excluding the Atlantic
Lecturer. Appointment priority will
be given to the gallery exhibitors
the week of their MFA show. After
these students have chosen their
VALS studio meetings, meetings
for everyone else will be open in
the regular 14 day, first-come firstserved method.
Midnight Madness
At times faculty members are
available for meetings that were
not committed through registration.
These few extra meetings are offered to students without the need
to be registered with a particular
faculty member. In essence, these
are free meetings and provide the
opportunity to meet with faculty to
see if you want to register with them
in subsequent semesters or simply

Appointments with Extended
Graduate Art Faculty
Please make these appointments
directly with the faculty member or
the department receptionist at the
appropriate associated college.
LECTURE SERIES
Attendance at CGU Art lectures
is considered part of your MFA
requirements.
Meeting Etiquette
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The Atlantic Lecture Series
These meetings are conversations about your work.
Conversations involve listening
and speaking: being receptive
to other perspectives and being
articulate about your practice
are essential ingredients.
If you are going to be late, it is
your responsibility to inform the
professor. It is not the secretary’s responsibility to track
down the professor at the last
minute.
If the professor is late and you
want to go hunting for him/her,
leave a note on your door, they
often arrive while you are trying
to find them.
If you want the professor to
meet you in an alternate location, allow for transit time and
plan ahead.
Help the professors stay on
schedule—be considerate of
other students waiting for their
meetings—and end your meeting on time.
Be kind to your professors,
have a place for them to sit
down.
Meetings cancelled or missed
by the student are considered
Each semester, the Atlantic Lecture
Series hosts an artist or critic from
New York and/or the East for a one
or two week period. The visiting lecturer spends approximately three to
five days of intense interaction with
students, normally on an individual
basis. Studio appointments with the
Atlantic Lecturer will be available
online.
Visiting Artist Lecture Series
The Visiting Artist Lecture Series
(VALS) is designed to introduce the
students to a variety of perspectives
by different artists, curators and
critics. Each semester two students
are selected by faculty as VALS coordinators to organize and schedule
these events.
Traditionally the VALS are scheduled on Wednesdays and lectures
begin at 4:30 pm in Albrecht Auditorium.
These visiting artists are able to
meet with up to seven students in
their studios. Priority will be given to
those students who have exhibits in
6
STUDENT
REPRESENTATIVES
the galleries. Students are limited to
appointments with two lecturers per
semester.
For the purpose of representation,
the building is divided into seven
sections, and each section elects
one representative. This representative committee meets with faculty
and staff during the semester, acts
as a communication network, problem solving and policy developing
body. The student representatives
also organize activities such as the
ice-breakers at the start of each
semester, the annual Thanksgiving Feast (fall semester) and Open
Studios (spring semester).
The Kiphart Lecture Series
Through a generous endowment
provided by the late Clarence B.
Kiphart and Mae R. Kiphart, yearly
lectures focusing on sculpture or
graphic arts have become a part of
the CGU art department curriculum.
These lectures are part of the VALS.
Studio visits with these guest
lecturers are included in the VALS
program and are considered toward
the two VALS meetings per student
per semester limit.

Orientation Meetings and
Faculty Lectures
The art department holds an
orientation program for incoming
students, followed by a series of
meetings held over several days
covering such topics as: gallery
usage, shop safety and general
student information.
Teaching and Studio Assistantships
positions are available in a variety
of areas, including the gallery, shop,
computer studio, with core faculty or
host faculty at participating institutions, visiting artist lecture series,
and as discussion group leaders.
These assignments are dependent
on funding and availability.
In addition, each fall orientation
includes presentations by faculty. These lectures are scheduled
throughout the first week or two of
the semester. Regular classes and
meetings begin after this orientation
lecture series. New and continuing
students are expected to attend.
Armory Center for the Arts
The Armory Center for the Arts
in partnership with Claremont
Graduate University provides an opportunity for interested candidates
for a two-semester (fall/spring) art
teaching fellowship at the Armory
Center for the Arts in Pasadena.
Graduate students apply during

the summer and are chosen by the
Armory. Fellows work with diverse
groups of elementary through high
school students. More information may be obtained from the art
department office.
The committee chair must be a core
faculty member (Amico, or Lachowicz). David Pagel, who oversees
the written statement component of
your advancement and thesis, is not
available for committee participation.
Discussion Groups (Discos)
Several adjunct faculty may serve
on committees. The department
secretary will have a list of faculty
who are eligible to serve on committees when it is time for you to make
your decision. Due to many factors,
the list of eligible faculty is updated
each semester.
Discos are student-led discussion
groups that focus on topics and
issues chosen by the disco leaders.
Meetings are weekly. All students
are required to participate in a disco
each semester they are enrolled.
Leading a disco is the equivalent of
being a TA and requires the development and implementation of a
graduate-level seminar. Disco leaders schedule the meetings, act as
moderators, and ensure the active
participation of all group members.
They also meet with the core faculty
throughout the semester to report
on their group’s progress.
If you choose only one core faculty to be on your committee (as
the chair of your committee), you
must choose a second core faculty
member to be a signer. The signer
will not participate in your advancement meeting but will sign your
Advancement to Candidacy and
final MFA forms. You must stay in
close contact with that person just
as you do the three members of
your committee.
YOUR MFA COMMITTEE
Choosing a Committee
During your second semester you
will be asked to choose your MFA
committee members.
You will also be asked to name an
alternate member should one of
your members not be available at
the time of your advancement and/
or final meetings.
The MFA committee (which oversees the advancement and final
review process) consists of three
studio art faculty, one who will serve
as the chair of the committee and
two members.
You will be given a form on which
to identify your first (chair), second,
third and alternate committee members. The department secretary will
tally the committee requests and
present to faculty for concurrence.

way of helping informed viewers into
your work. You may find it useful to
compare and contrast your work to
that of other contemporary artists,
and/or to locate it in a brief historical
narrative. Your advancement paper
should end with a concise proposal
that describes your plans for your
MFA exhibition omitting detail since
the work is not yet completed.
Faculty has final approval in regard
to committee participation and
adjunct faculty are limited in the
number of committees on which
they may serve. Your alternate will
be used automatically to fill any
open member position.
You should talk to faculty members
about serving on your committee;
be specific as to whether you are
asking core faculty to be the chair or
a member. When considering committee members, it is wise to choose
faculty that you have established
some relationship with and who
know your work and are supportive.
Writing the advancement statement
will focus and clarify your position
as an artist. You will be working with
David Pagel through the written
statement seminar to complete your
statement.
David Pagel must read and approve all advancement and final
papers prior to distribution to
committee members, who must
receive them one week before
your advancement or final meeting.
ADVANCEMENT TO
CANDIDACY
The Advancement Statement
In your third semester you will write
a 5-page, double-spaced advancement paper that is read by your
committee prior to the advancement
meeting. This paper should explain
what you do in the studio, how you
do it, and, most important, why you
do it. Your advancement paper is
meant to help you clarify what it is
you do as an artist, to improve your
capacity to articulate your commitments and priorities and to defend
your practice in the world. It sets
the terms of the discussion you will
have in your advancement meeting,
framing the issues that are important to your work.
Think of your paper as a sort of field
guide to your graduate exhibition, a
The department secretary must
also have a copy of your statement before submitting your
Advancement to Candidacy and
Final MFA forms to the Dean and
the Registrar.
The Advancement Meeting
The advancement meeting is held
in your studio for one hour with your
three committee members during
your third semester. The meeting
will be scheduled by the department
secretary and you will be notified of
the time and date.

ART DEPARTMENT
2015/16 HANDBOOK
deliberations. If the committee’s decision is to advance the candidate,
the members will sign the advancement form. If the candidate has not
convinced the committee that their
work is sufficiently developed, the
committee may request a second
advancement meeting in approximately 2 to 3 weeks.
It is recommended that you display
in your studio the work you consider
most relevant for this discussion.
If you do installations or very large
work that cannot be viewed in your
studio space, provide some photographic documentation for the
faculty to refer to in the meeting.
Committee members will have read
your advancement paper and will
base their questions and comments
on the information you present in
your paper and the work in your
studio.
The committee may also request
revisions to the advancement paper.
In this case, the committee members will sign the form and the chair
will sign when a final revised version
of the advancement paper has been
received and approved. Your three
committee members and signer will
work closely with you as you prepare for your final MFA exhibition.
Any major change in your proposed
exhibition must be communicated to
all the members of the committee.
You will by this time be familiar with
receiving varied opinions and suggestions from faculty and this may
occur in your advancement meeting.
A committee offers you a broader
base of advice than an individual
mentoring system and places the
responsibility on you, the artist, to
determine the most valid approach
for your work. This meeting is meant
to help focus your ideas and the
development of your work in preparation for your MFA exhibition.
YOUR FINAL COMMITTEE
MEETING
The final committee meeting takes
place in the gallery during the week
of your final exhibition, usually on
Tuesday. The department secretary
will schedule this meeting with your
committee members.
It is the chair’s responsibility to
oversee the discussion and open
the meeting with a question to the
candidate. Ten minutes before
the end of the hour the chair asks
the candidate to step out of the
studio and the committee confers
to consolidate their opinions and
recommendations. When the candidate is asked to return, the chair or
a designated member will relate to
the candidate a brief version of their
The Final Review Statement
The final statement accompanying each student’s MFA exhibition
should be one to two pages long
and focused on the body of work
in the gallery. This paper does not
go into the background and context of the work as much as the
10
Final Documentation of MA
or MFA Degree
advancement paper did, but should
resemble the kind of writing that a
gallery would put out on the counter
for visitors to read. If you write a
successful statement, you will have
this necessary document ready to
hand galleries as you begin exhibiting, to revise as a press release,
and to use in employment, grant
and fellowship applications.
In order to receive your degree,
your final documentation must
include all items noted below and
be submitted as a package on a CD
to the department secretary. These
items are due two weeks after your
final review. If the MFA documentation requirements are not met prior
to the last day of the semester you
will receive an INCOMPLETE for
MFA Project and a degree WILL
NOT be issued until all documentation has been submitted.
At least one week before your final
review meeting each committee
member must have a copy of your
final statement, which again will be
a basis for discussion along with
your work.
Your MFA Final Packet CD must
include the following:
• Title page, including your name,
date of final review, names of
committee members and signer,
if appropriate
• Final paper
• Announcement card
• Images of your MFA show,
including at least one overall
gallery view. You may add
other work as you wish. The
quantity of images is up to you.
Please label the CD with your
name and year of graduation.
• A list of the images, including your name, date, title, and
media, keyed to the file names
of the images on the CD.
• Current CV
Your committee chair must have
the final version of your statement
before she/he will sign your Final
Approval of MFA degree form. The
signed form along with a copy of
your paper must be returned to the
department secretary so she can
obtain the Dean’s signature prior to
forwarding to the Registrar.
Public Presentation at the
Opening Reception
Students are required to make a
brief public statement at the opening
reception of their graduate exhibition. These presentations will be
based on the student’s written statement. They are designed to give
students the experience of speaking
about their work before an audience and answering questions that
require them to think on their feet.
In addition, you are required to
upload your thesis exhibition images and image information to the

mail permit within the budget of
$100 per student. If the design of
your announcement causes the cost
of bulk mailing to go over $100, the
student is responsible for paying for
the difference to mail to the entire
mailing list.
These images as well as your statements may be shown to curators,
gallery directors, trustees of the university and other interested parties.
The art department maintains a
mailing list of about 600, including
galleries, press, alumni and friends.
The department secretary provides
labels for departmental group shows
and MFA or MA project shows free
of charge. For other exhibitions you
may provide blank labels and the
department secretary will print them
for you.
If a CD of images does not work
in recording your MFA exhibition,
please discuss the most appropriate
format with your committee chair.
MFA EXHIBITION
Exhibition Announcements
Only CGU-supplied labels may be
used with the CGU bulk mail permit.
You must pay for any announcements that you wish to send to your
own list.
A typical exhibition announcement
is a postcard with an image on
one side and information about the
event on the other, allowing for a
mailing label and postage. Typical information may include a map
and the gallery address, the dates
of the show, and the date/time of
the opening reception. The gallery
manager must approve all announcements and copy prior to final
design and printing. A binder with
samples of exhibition announcements is kept in the art office.
Preparing for the Final
Exhibition
Students must schedule a meeting
with the gallery manager at least
two weeks prior to your final show to
discuss the particulars of the exhibition installation.
Students with MFA shows in the
main galleries may not use any
alternate exhibition spaces during
their scheduled show time.
Your exhibition announcement card
must conform to USPS guidelines
for bulk mail with regard to size,
shape and thickness. The design
of your card must be such that the
department will be able to mail to
the mailing list using the CGU bulk

week prior to the installation of their
work in a display or gallery space.
Students signed up for display may
begin using the prep room starting
at noon on the Saturday of the week
reserved, and have until noon of the
following Saturday to have everything removed. The prep rooms are
NOT to be used as studio or storage
space.
The exhibiting student is responsible for the installation, reception
set-up / clean up, and restoration
of galleries. It is suggested that
students plan ahead and schedule
assistance as necessary.
The Prep Room also houses the
reception bar, pedestals, forms for
installation, paint, and a small collection of supplies. Supplies in the

used exclusively for the main galleries. Please note that due to limited
space items placed in the prep room
without approval from the shop or
gallery manager may be subject to
removal and possibly disposal.
The gallery manager must approve
window signage. Vinyl letters are
typical. Students must ensure application and removal of signage does
not damage the window. Works may
be temporarily stored for transport
at the discretion of the gallery manager. Works left without approval
or beyond agreed upon date are
subject to disposal.
Prep Room
Opening Receptions
The Prep Room is located on the
first floor of the art department in
rooms 116 and 117. The prep room
was design for the purpose of having a clean organized area for the
final preparation of artwork prior
to display in the gallery or display
areas i.e. this is an area for you to
view your work in a clean space and
address any clean up, touch up, or
installation issues the artworks may
present before placing the work on
display. The prep room is only for
installing students to be used on the
Opening receptions are held on
Tuesday evenings from 6:00 pm
to 9:00 pm. Exhibiting students
are responsible for all reception
arrangements. The CGU art department does arrange for work-study
students to bartend all opening
receptions. Bartenders are responsible for service and clean-up of
the beverage area only. Exhibiting
students are responsible for restoring the lobby area to its previous
condition directly following the

CGU ART FACILITIES
Overview
Building Security
The art facilities at CGU were
designed with one purpose in mind:
supporting your needs as an artist.
These facilities provide you with the
opportunity to do things for each
other and for your careers that are
not possible at other schools, and
they require your cooperation. This
begins with the understanding that
the building is an instrument for accomplishing a variety of purposes. It
is a place where you make your art,
engage in extensive dialogues and
receive continual professional exposure. It is more like a gallery-studio
complex than a school building,
and it is modeled on the approach
generally used by artists across the
country. Since we are, however, still
a school, it is necessary to operate
within an academic framework. The
art program is based on the premise
that an adult community of graduate
students can function responsibly
in this building without constant supervision. In terms of public visibility
and the success of your community,
the CGU art department will have
an important effect on your development, your future and the value of
your degree.
All doors must remain closed at all
times. They are self locking. Please
help us make sure that these doors
always stay fully closed because the
building, the office and computer
studio, your possessions and those
of everyone else are vulnerable,
especially after hours.
All visitors, including alumni, must
be escorted by faculty, staff or
students. Do not admit anyone into
the building unless you know them
and you are willing to escort and be
responsible for them.
Emergency Procedures
Emergency procedures are posted
in the lobby by the phone. In case
of fire or earthquake, buildings are
to be emptied of students, staff,
faculty, and visitors. Everyone
should assemble for a head count in
the open area known as the Mudd
Quadrangle located in front of Honnold Library, across the street and
diagonal (southwest) from the art
building. Please try to locate art staff
and check in so that we know you
are safe.
Call campus safety at extension
72000 for any emergencies, especially those requiring the assistance
The building was designed with the
galleries and offices in the front to
17
ART DEPARTMENT
2015/16 HANDBOOK
of paramedics and/or an ambulance. Campus safety, in turn, will
call 911 and give them directions on
how to get to your location.
Open everyday, 365 days per year. No
appointment necessary. Hours of service
are 8am-8pm Monday through Friday and
9am-5pm weekends and holidays.
Smoking area
In case of emergency call:
Campus Safety
Extension 72000
(Do not call 911 ) *
A canopy in the northwest corner of
CGU Art’s fabrication yard has been
provided for students who smoke.
This is the only location where
smoking is permitted in and around
the CGU Art facilities. Please do
not dispose of cigarette butts on the
ground or in the planters.
*When 911 calls are routed to the
police department the address that
displays in the police system is the
university’s central switchboard.
This may result in emergency
personnel being sent to the wrong
location. We recommend adding the
campus safety number to your cell
phone contacts.
Art Department Office
The art department staff is in charge
of the day-to-day functions of the
department. The core faculty and
administrative staff have offices
adjacent to the main office. The
shop supervisor’s office is located
west of the woodshop. Faculty mailboxes are located in the front office.
Student mailboxes are located in
the front office.
Also use this number for after-hours
building problems that cannot wait
for normal office hours—such as
plumbing, broken door locks, and
roof leaks.

2015/16 HANDBOOK
CGU ART COMPUTER
STUDIO AND EQUIPMENT
Alumni wanting to use the color
printers are asked to provide a written proposal to faculty/staff at least
one week prior to the requested
print date. The proposal should
state the purpose of the printing,
the approximate number of feet of
paper required, the day(s)/time(s)
requested for printing access, and
any other special requirements (paper changes/inks). Alumni printing
that is approved by faculty/staff will
be accommodated through standard
print room scheduling.
Your cooperation and care in
using the printers and computer
studio equipment will assist in
getting the full value out of the investment made with your tuition
dollars.
If you want to listen to audio while
you work in the computer studio, the
same rules as in your studio apply please use headphones.
The desktops and hard drives will
be cleared every summer - be sure
to back up your files.
Come to your appointment with
your images formatted and ready
to print. The print assistants can
help with reasonable questions,
but will not train people in graphic
design, software or color correction.
If you do not know how to format
files to produce the output you
desire, please take the appropriate
classes or make an appointment
with a computer studio assistant for
help before you come to your print
appointment. Students may not
use the printer workstation except
for minor adjustments within their
allotted appointment time and as
determined by the print assistant.
The department has various equipment available for use, which may
be checked out through the department staff. You are responsible for
replacing any equipment lost or
damaged while it is in your possession. See the department secretary.
Printers
Students wishing to print must make
an appointment using the online
scheduling system. Only finished art
projects will be printed; no posters or signs. Only print assistants
or other designated students are
permitted to work directly with the
printer, loading paper, replacing inks
and handling maintenance items.
If your practice is photography, you
may request individual access to
the printer. Please prepare a short
statement and turn into the administrative staff for faculty approval.
Every student has a page in the
print log. Your print job will be
logged by the assistant. With the exception of printer or computer studio
assistant errors, you are responsible
for paying for whatever comes out
of the printer; even prints you are
unhappy with for any reason. The
department secretary will prepare
20
and distribute bills to students at the
end of each month. Keep track of
how much you print, if at the time of
billing you have reached or exceeded $300, you must pay your print bill
before continuing printing. Please
see administrative staff for any special circumstances. After the close
of each semester, unpaid printing
bills will result in a hold being placed
on your student account.
toshop allows, convert your color
profile to Adobe RGB 1998. To do
this go to Image> Mode> Convert to
Profile> Profile> Adobe RGB (1998).
Fees for printing are $9 per linear
foot (44 inches wide x 12 inches) for
the Epson 9800 on luster paper (the
department standard). If you provide
your own paper (the paper’s specifications to be confirmed with print
assistant to ensure compatibility
with the printer) the fee for printing
is $7 per foot. Note that additional
fees may apply when changing or
using special papers/inks; please
discuss with print assistant/staff well
in advance.
Keep the file size as small as possible. Set the resolution as low as you
can without losing image quality.
300 dpi is often unnecessary. 150 to
200 is sufficient in many cases. This
will make printing go faster, prevent
the computer from freezing and
other annoyances. Once you have
set your dpi and image size, you
can check for pixelation by turning
on rulers and zooming in until an
inch on screen is equivalent to an
actual inch. If you do not see any
pixelation then, you will probably
not see pixelation in your print. It is
recommended you run a test strip
for further assurance.
Set your document width to 44
inches wide, even if the image is
surrounded by empty white space.
Depending on the size of your
images, you may place multiple images on the 44 inch width.
■■ Formatting Files
Bring your finished color-corrected
work on a CD, USB memory device
or via CGU web storage to the print
room. You cannot print off your laptop. To speed up printing, your files
will be transferred to the print room
hard drive. The files may be deleted
if not printed within 24 hours and/or
after printing.
Only one color test strip is free (6” x
44”). If you choose to keep the test
strip, you will be charged.
Try a variety of color and contrast
adjustments at various increments.
Clearly write down what each one
is, or use Adjustment Layers and
the History Palette. Print your test
strip. If you do not find a test that
you like, return to your computer
and make the appropriate adjust

will use Photoshop to open and

that setting your color mode to RGB

all media.
GALLERIES
Peggy Phelps and East
Galleries
David Pagel, the exhibitions coordinator, oversees CGU’s Peggy
Phelps Gallery and East Gallery
with the assistance of Chris Christion, the gallery manager. The
galleries service the needs of the
CGU art department’s MFA, group
and solo exhibitions, as well as
exhibitions organized by Pagel,
Christion, and guest curators. The
exhibitions are an essential part of
the program because they bring
critics, dealers and visitors to the
building where they also see work
by our students via studio tours,
display areas, or adjacent gallery
spaces.
Alternative spaces may be reserved
for one week by submitting a display
checklist for consideration to the
gallery manager. Display checklists
forms are available in the art office,
on the NOW board and in the prep
room(rm. 116 & 117). Display areas
are intended to provide maximum
exposure for all students in the
program, adding to the visual and
verbal dialogue and exchange of
ideas both within the department
and with the public.
The galleries are open weekdays
from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Students with MFA shows in the
main galleries may not use any
alternate exhibition spaces during
their scheduled show time.
The gallery manager is responsible
for scheduling and planning student and professional exhibitions.
The students are responsible for
execution of their own exhibitions.
All cleanup and de-installation is the
responsibility of the MFA or MA candidate. (See Gallery Restoration)
Students wishing to extend installation into the lobby area or
incorporate anything into their installation that is outside of the current
handbook rules must submit a Special Installation Proposal Form
three weeks prior to installation to
the gallery manager for faculty approval. These forms are found in
the prep room(rm116 & 117). Any

upon authorization by the shop supervisor. All keys must be returned
upon graduation in order to receive
your studio deposit reimbursement.
As with all areas of the building,
safety and security in the shops
and fabrication areas are essential,
at all times. Safety guidelines and
shop rules are intended to establish a safe and cooperative use
of communal work areas. These
guidelines are not designed to
suppress creative expression, but
to ensure a standard in tool quality,
maintenance and availability to all
students. Please respect this space,
equipment and the rights of your
colleagues. A failure to comply with
safety guidelines and shop rules as
outlined may result in a loss of shop
privileges.
Alumni Use of Shop
Facilities
Shop privileges for alumni are
restricted to regular working hours
and with the permission of the shop
supervisor. Alumni are subject to
the same requirements as current
students with regard to shop procedures. An annual fee for access,
tool maintenance and supplies may
be assessed. Issues/problems involving alumni should be brought to
the attention of the shop supervisor.
Tool Check Out Procedures
Shop Access Schedule
Hand tools and portable power tools
may be removed from the shop for
personal studio use for a period of
no longer than 7 days. Tools need
to be signed out by either a shop
assistant or the shop supervisor.
All tools must be checked out during regular business hours. Once
checked out, you will be responsible
for the item. Please report any malfunctions when returning tools.
The wood shop, metal shop and
casting shop are accessible from
9 am until 9 pm Monday through
Friday and noon until 8 pm Saturday and Sunday. Access outside
of these hours is dependent on the
availability of a work-study shop
technician to open the facility for
you in which case it’s your responsibility to make sure everything is
secure and locked before leaving.
Never leave the tool cage open or a
machine on. When you are finished
using the facilities, please make
sure the doors and the rolling gate
are locked and lights are turned off.
Tool List
The faculty and staff recommends
that each student maintain a basic
inventory of personal tools for fabrication and installation purposes.
Contact the shop supervisor for
degarding these and other shop
supplies.

damage is cumulative and possibly
unnoticeable in early stages, it can
produce debilitating effects.
All students must attend a preliminary shop orientation and safety
demonstration before working in the
shop and operating shop machinery.
At the conclusion of this meeting,
a shop contract must be read and

casting booth, a second demonstration meeting must be attended. No
student will be able to use any of
the equipment housed in either of
these shops until this demo has
been completed. Never, (even after
you’ve completed your orientation)
operate a machine if you are unsure
of its proper use. Ask the shop supervisor or a shop assistant for help.
Wear appropriate clothes in the
shop. Do not wear anything loose
fitting or baggy that may become
caught in the machinery or equipment. Hair should be tied back and
jewelry should be removed.
Appropriate footwear must be worn
in the shop, which includes tennis shoes or other rubber soled
shoes or boots. Flip flops, sandals
and any other open-toed shoes
leave your feet vulnerable to spills,
sharp objects and burns and are
not acceptable in any of the shops.
Solid leather shoes must be worn
in the welding area. Slag (molten
metal) from welds can fall and burn
through canvas and especially nylon
sections of shoes, severely burning
feet or toes.
GUIDELINES
Always wear safety equipment
when working in the shop.

supervisor. Never attempt to adjust
or repair the machines unless it is a
standard operation such as adjusting guards or changing blades.
Wear a respirator while spraying,
sanding toxics or using anything
that produces fine particles or
fumes/vapors. You must purchase
your own personal respirator with
the appropriate filters in order to
work with any chemicals or in the
casting booth.
Never remove guards or fences
from a machine in order to use the
machine a different way or to make
a different cut, etc. If it can’t be done
with all safety equipment in place,
the machine is not supposed to do it.
You must have an MSDS (Material
Safety Data Sheet) for any material
you bring into the shops or studios.
In the case of an accident, which
includes burns, spills, inhalations,
or any other material-related accident, you may be REFUSED
TREATMENT by EMS and hospital
staff if they do not have a positive
identification for the material and
its respective MSDS. Every retail
store in California is required by law
to have an MSDS available upon
request for each product they carry.
Ask for one when purchasing any
toxic or flammable materials.
Please work in the spray booth or
outside when using aerosols, creating excessive noise, fumes or dust
that may cause harm or discomfort
to others. Remember that the exterior spray-wall is in close proximity
to work tables. Do not spray toxics
on this wall while others are working
in the area without respirators.
Be aware of others working in the
shop. A person is just as likely to be
injured in a small shop by a projectile thrown from another person’s
machine as by the machine they
are working on. Avoid working in
dangerous areas such as behind
the table saw while people are cutting, or diagonally behind rotating
disk and belt sanders. When you
are using a machine, first think
about where others are in the shop
and make sure that they are paying
attention if they are in a potentially
dangerous position. Children and
pets are not allowed in the shop
with you while you are working and
must be kept at a safe distance,
and properly protected with safety
Please do not attempt to use power
tools or equipment in any of the
shops if you are tired, on medication
or are under the influence of any
drug or alcohol. Impaired concentration causes accidents.
Please do not use any tool or
machine that appears to be out
of working order or that feels as
though it isn’t performing correctly. Place a “Do Not Use” tag on
the machine and notify the shop

period of time, please clear it with
the shop supervisor.
Wood Shop, Metal Shop and
Casting Booth
Clean your work area each time you
use the shop. This includes wiping
down machines and sweeping the
surrounding floor space. It is not the
responsibility of the shop supervisor,
shop assistants or building custodian to clean the shop.
No food or beverages are allowed in
the shops.
Return tools and equipment to
their designated storage areas and
notify the shop assistant on duty of
any irregular performance. Restore
equipment to its original and safe
position after each use. If you have
changed blades, make sure the
original blade has been re-installed.
Return saws and grinder to a perpendicular spindle position. Wind all
pneumatic, water hoses and extension cords to their retracted position.
Make sure that your materials have
been labeled and are returned to
the appropriate storage areas designated in each shop. Lumber may be
stored in the designated bins in the
breezeway. The bins on the exterior
north wall of the metal shop may be
used for metal storage. The casting
booth has a number of cabinets and
storage racks. Make sure that all
chemicals are labeled, dated and
stored in the flammable cabinets
when not in use.
Doors to the shop should be closed
at all times. The lights turned out,
rolling gates and machines locked
at 6 pm or as the last person leaves
the shop.
Any materials lacking identification/
ownership are subject to disposal.
Please do not use any materials
containing nails or metal with the
power tools or machinery. When
depositing wood into the scrap bins,
please carefully inspect each piece
and remove any nails, screws,
staples etc. All other materials such
as paint, plaster and resins are
prohibited in the wood shop. Painting and gessoing should be done
outside or in the paint booth.
The wood shop should never be
used for storage of material or
projects. Remove your work and
materials after each work session—
the shop is a common area that
should be available for all students.

ART DEPARTMENT
2015/16 HANDBOOK
The casting booth is a dust free air
exchange booth only. There is no
air filtration system in the casting booth. Please do not use the
casting booth for spray painting or
sanding.
Exercise courtesy when using worktables, and only use one table at a
time. Please do not leave work on
the tables if you are not present for
more than half an hour. Please do
not leave work against the walls or
on the floor overnight.
Always store materials and projects
on racks between pours.
■■ Metal Shop
Please shut off ventilation fans once
your project has completed curing
and/or off gassing has sufficiently
slowed.
The metal shop is for welding and
metal work only. Only mild steel,
stainless and aluminum are to be
used in the shop. Any other material
requires permission from the shop
supervisor.
Return all machines to their designated positions and sweep after
welding, cutting, machining and
grinding.
Those individuals planning to use
the casting booth regularly may
obtain a personal key with the approval of the shop supervisor. This
key will need to be returned upon
graduation.

Sculpture Yard/Outside
Covered Workspace
Those individuals planning to use
the metal shop regularly may obtain
a personal key with the approval of
the shop supervisor. This key will
need to be returned upon graduation.
The sculpture yard and covered
areas outside the shops are communal workspaces available for
temporary projects. To use a section
of this yard for periods of longer
than 48 hours, make arrangements
with the shop supervisor.
■■ Casting Booth
While working outside, it is the student’s responsibility to clean up and
sweep after every work session.
Please do not use the hose when a
broom will work.
Always cover the floors, bench
and tables when poring molds,
fiber glassing, or any other activity
that may leave a residue on level
surfaces. Please scrape any buildup
of materials off these surfaces upon

STUDIOS
Our program is designed to encourage interaction among students
working in all media. All studios are
housed in the art department building with 42 studios upstairs and 12
downstairs. Continuing students may
request a one-time studio change,
which will be honored on a firstcome, first-served basis following
the departure of graduating students. (See Studio Changes)
Being Green / Recycling /
Waste Disposal
It is CGU Art’s goal to recycle and
limit our environmental impact as
much as possible. Please do your
part!
The art department will make every
effort to provide acceptable studio
spaces in the building to students
who actively use them each week.
Only those students enrolled for 15
units are entitled to studio space. No
assigned studio may be used only
for storage—students must actively
use their studio in order to keep it.
Please refer to flyers posted near
recycling containers for acceptable
materials. The department is fined
when non-recyclable materials are
disposed of in the recycle bin. And, if
done too often, the City can remove
the bin altogether.
Please do not throw batteries into
the regular trash. Batteries may be
put in the Hazardous Disposal Cabinet near the dumpsters.
If you have large items or need
clarification regarding acceptability, please discuss with the shop
supervisor. Remember, as stated in
the Studio section of this handbook,
students are responsible for removing all furniture and materials that
they bring onto the premises. This
means disposing of them correctly
by depositing them completely inside
dumpsters, or removing them from
the property if they are too large or
New students’ priority numbers will
be used to determine the sequence
in which studios will be selected.
The art department faculty reserves
the right to change studio assignments and/or remove anyone from
a studio, including the six ventilated
studios upstairs, should they deem
it necessary for the well-being of the
student body.

spray booth must always return
their materials and pieces to their
studios. The same goes for anyone
who uses the outside work area and
sculpture yard; all tools and portable
elements must be returned to their
studios when not being used. All
finished work must be removed from
these work areas and stored in your
studio or in personal storage units.
There is no room for storing finished
work in the department outside of
your studios. Wood storage bins
are for storing raw materials only.
Please place your name on raw materials being stored in these areas.
other students and visitors. Skylights may not be painted or covered
from the outside.
In our building sound carries extensively. Out of respect for others, you
must use headphones to listen to
music. Anyone using any other type
of system will be asked to remove it,
or we will remove it. Also, be courteous when using the building phones
or your personal cell phones.
In order to prevent excessive and
unnecessary restoration work at the
time of departure, some students
have chosen to cover tables and
cabinets with plastic or paper for
protection. Some have also placed
inexpensive remnant carpets under
work areas to avoid having to clean
up paint spills. Other students have
tacked tarps on walls behind work
areas to avoid paint splatters. These
ideas are suggestions only; they are
not required. You should feel free
and comfortable in your studio to
create art. We understand that art
may be messy and do not intend to
inhibit the process in any way. Yet,
you are responsible for restoring
your studio to its original condition
upon switching studios or exiting
CGU.
There is a designated cabinet in
the breezeway for sharing materials with your fellow students. Any
items placed on the “share shelves”
are first-come, first-served. The
cabinet will be emptied at the end
of each term and at the discretion
of the shop supervisor. Please do
not place any perishable or hazardous items in the share cabinet. The
cabinet door must be able to fully
and easily close at all times.
Studio Maintenance
To safeguard your work and your
space, custodians are instructed
not to clean studios. They clean
only the halls, restrooms, and other
public spaces. You are required
to discard items that do not fit in
the interior trash containers in the
dumpsters behind the building. You
must keep your studio clean and
safe, accessible to faculty, staff,
Studio Doors and Privacy
There are doors on six specially
ventilated studios upstairs. These
studio doors must remain closed at
all times for heating, air conditioning and exhaust systems to work
properly. Windows on any doors

you leave for the day.
be made to accommodate student
requests. Any time a studio change
is made, the student is obligated to
restore the space they are leaving
to top condition.
All other doors are to remain OPEN
unless you are in your studio working and want privacy. We want to be
able to see your work. Freestanding doors should be left open when
you are not working in your studio.
The department faculty requests
that some of your work be displayed
face out from the wall and your
studio left open so that visitors may
view as much as possible. Do not
place shelving, cabinets or a display
wall directly in front of the studio
opening.
Fire / Emergency Safety
Codes
It is imperative that students remain
in compliance with fire and safety
codes at all times. Failure to do
so may result in a loss of studio
privileges.
Open flames are strictly prohibited
anywhere in the building. Automatic
sprinklers may be activated and
flood the entire building.
No hot plates are allowed in studios.
You may have a small refrigerator
and microwave but they must be
plugged directly into electrical outlets. Do not use extension cords or
power strips for appliances. Coffee
pots must be disconnected when
not in use.
Attached doors are not allowed on
any of the studios with the exception of the ventilated studios and the
downstairs public area studios.
Studio Changes
Following the initial studio assignments, students will have one
opportunity to change studios during
the remainder of their time spent
at CGU Art. Students may switch
studios over winter or summer
break, after graduating students
have restored and departed from
their studios. Studio change request
forms may be obtained from the
shop and building supervisor. Priority is given to second-year students,
and requests will be considered
in chronological order, as spaces
become available. All efforts will
Three pronged, grounded extension cords are the only acceptable
means for extending electricity
from outlets (even to plug in a lamp
or clock), however, they must be
unplugged when you are not in your
studio. Do not use light-duty extension cords at any time. Power strips
with surge protectors are recommended.
Lofts and racks must be approved
by the shop supervisor prior to their

units must be securely attached to
structural elements of the building.
Sprinkler systems must be free from
obstruction, and the spray pattern of
each sprinkler must not be impacted
in any way.
The following terms of the studio
occupancy as well as the fire/
emergency safety codes outlined
in this handbook and the University policies as posted on the web
constitute an agreement between
the student and the CGU art department. It should be understood that
compliance with this agreement is
expected at all times. Disregard of
this agreement may result in a loss
of studio privileges.
Storage of art, materials or furniture
is not allowed in the halls or in front
of the elevator or in unused studios.
Fabric curtains, gates or screens
made of paper, plastic, cardboard
or other flammable materials are
not to be used to block studio
entrances. Freestanding, bi-fold
doors made from framed door skin
or comparable materials are the
only acceptable doors that comply
with fire safety codes. They may not
be attached or hinged to the wall in
any fashion. Confer with the shop
supervisor if you have any questions regarding doors.
The presence of this agreement in
the handbook presupposes your
familiarity with it and constitutes a
contract with the art department.
Occupancy and Restoration
A $300 studio/furniture restoration, material and property removal
from CGU, and key deposit will be
charged to all students. This deposit
is required prior to the first day of
classes and may be requested as
part of the admission process.

4 The studio comes with a track
light system and 3 halogen
canisters installed with working bulbs. Upon check-out, the
studio must have 3 halogen
lamp containers installed and
working as they were when
you moved in. Contact the
shop supervisor for replacement bulbs or electrical issues
related to the track lighting
system.
Upon occupying the studio, the
student and the shop supervisor
will assess the condition of the
studio being occupied and note any
existing damage or problems on
the Studio Occupancy Inspection/
Agreement form.
Upon the student’s departure
from the University and following
the student’s restoration efforts, a
final studio inspection is required
between the student and the shop
supervisor to assess the condition
of the studio using the Studio Exit
Checklist & Deposit Reimbursement Authorization form. This final
inspection will assist in determining
reimbursement of the deposit.
Should the art department be
required to perform any restoration
or disposal of personal items, the
entire deposit will be forfeited; no
partial reimbursements will be made
with regard to restoration.
35
ART DEPARTMENT

When the exit checklist is complete, the department secretary
will process a request for check for
reimbursement.
Report any damage to the building,
malfunctions of air conditioning,
heating, plumbing, lighting, leaks,
etc. to the shop supervisor or office
staff to expedite repairs.
