Critique spaces are generally not open to the public and support the installation of works created as part of courses and curriculum.

They're typically booked during class time to a maximum of 3 days in selected spaces and provide an important opportunity for peer-to-peer learning, presentation and discussion.

Do you think you might need an exhibition space instead? Or a space for another use?

Faculty

To book a space for your class critiques, submit a ticket to book a space as soon as you know your required dates. As space is limited, we ask that you use your assigned classroom whenever possible, however, additional space can be booked during class time if available.

              Students

              • Consult with your instructor. Discuss the scope of your installation. Assigned classrooms are typically used for critiques, but additional space may have already been booked by your instructor.
              • If you are still in need of a space, determine your space requirements and submit a ticket to book a space.
              • Once received, the Scheduling Office, Community Bookings, will confirm that a space has been held for you. At this point your event is conditionally approved.

              4th Floor Gallery Spaces

              Gallery spaces on the 4th floor can be booked for critiques by ART and MFA students throughout the term.

              ART students can request a space no sooner than 2 weeks prior to your required booking date.
              If you are booking a space for independent use, your request must be sponsored by a Faculty of Art instructor.

              MFA students can request a space no sooner than 1 week prior to your required booking date.

                  • The Scheduling Office, Community Bookings will coordinate with Facilities for final approval.
                  • Once approved by Facilities, the Scheduling Office, Community Bookings will confirm your booking. Your instructor will also be notified of your booking.

                  While Facilities make every effort to approve all installation requests, public safety and protection of property must be considered.

                  • Be aware of your booking start and end time. There is more than likely someone in the space before and after you.
                  • Read the Critique Guidelines and How to Install Your Work before you begin your install.
                  • Restore the space at the time of deinstall. Campground rules apply: please leave the space better than found when done.
