Letter of Support

For those individuals not associated with the Baylor Department of Art & Art History, a letter of support from our faculty would be beneficial for your proposal. Your letter should list each Baylor Department of Art and Art History faculty member involved. The letter should explain why faculty support the artist, group, or institution, how an exhibition could benefit the Museum and the Department, and how it might be utilized in the classroom.

Baylor Art & Art History Faculty

Your proposals will need to include how your proposed exhibition will benefit the Department of Art & Art history, how you plan to utilize the exhibition in your classroom, and if any other department faculty are interested in engaging with the exhibition.

Review Process

All exhibition proposals are submitted to the Martin Museum Advisory Committee for review and voting. The committee meets twice a year, in February and September, to review proposals. Once a vote is taken and a decision reached, the contact person for the proposal will be emailed regarding the outcome.

Please note that the Museum plans multiple years in advance. Depending on your preferred space, it may be up to 3 years before your exhibition can be shown, if accepted. If you have any questions, please contact us at The Martin Museum.
