School of the Art Institute of Chicago Faculty Sabbatical Triennial Exhibition

Monday, August 25 - Saturday, December 06 11:00 a.m. CDT - 6:00 p.m. CST (CLOSED SUNDAYS) SAIC Galleries Street Level, SAIC Galleries Lower Level 2, 33 E. Washington St This fall, SAIC Galleries is pleased to present the second SAIC Faculty Sabbatical Triennial exhibition, featuring a wide range of work across multiple disciplines by School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) faculty who have completed a sabbatical or other paid leave over the past three academic years. Significant gallery-based presentations and a scheduled program of talks and events alongside a dedicated website will represent the research and practices of these renowned SAIC faculty members. SAIC offers sabbaticals, or salaried leaves-of-absence, to eligible full and part-time professors after seven years of service. During a sabbatical, faculty are relieved of their teaching and administrative duties so they may embark on a dedicated period of inquiry, experimentation, and production to help sustain their instructional and professional excellence. This exhibition highlights the importance and impact of this supported time away and provides the opportunity for SAIC faculty to share their recent bodies of work and current subjects of study with the SAIC community and the public.
