Hi--

If you are a university or college art museum hanging professional exhibition most of the year but do hang a graduating student show, how do you deal with the differences between what are, in the end, professional shows vs. an amateur show?

Do you use the same loan agreements for the student shows as you would for the rest of your shows?

Do you have different (more lenient) standards in terms of preparation of work for the students?

How do valuations work-- do you question the values these inexperienced students provide?

Do your insurance policies treat student work differently that professional work?


I would be very thankful for any input/experiences you can share.

Thanks,

Astrida
