Return to annual Calendars of Exhibitions
What is included
These calendars reference exhibitions devoted primarily to American representational art. Not all exhibitions submitted to TFAO are included in calendars.
Excluded content includes:
- group exhibitions of artist organizations, faculties and students at museums or art centers
- exhibits not deemed to be balanced in favor of American representational art
- photography exhibits that feature photo-journalism or are by emerging photographers
- computer-generated art exhibits
- video exhibits
- current and upcoming commercial gallery exhibitions
- exhibits on tour when TFAO has prior articles covering the traveling exhibit from early venues
Resource Library selectively publishes publicity articles concerning retrospective exhibitions of artist organizations' individual members at museums or art centers. Artist organizations include cooperatives, clubs and other membership societies.
Revisions of dates are accepted and encouraged in order for calendars to be as accurate as possible. The deadline for inclusion in a current monthly calendar is the first day of that month.
To make the most of your visit to an exhibition
If you are touring, you will find American art venues to visit Indexed by State within the United States. Call the museum in advance to see if you can:
- join a docent tour to interpret the exhibition
- make a reservation to have lunch in the museum cafe
- use your camera to take pictures of the art
- download an iPod tour at home to play while you are in the galleries
- use your cellphone in the galleries to play an audio tour
Exhibition dates may and do change without prior notice from museums to TFAO. Always verify dates directly with museums before visiting their exhibitions.
Museums often have closed days. Mondays are common in the USA but sometimes there are other closed days or multiple closed days. It's a good idea to arrive early or late in the day when there are less crowds. Many museums have tours for school children in the morning, causing increased traffic. Some museums have evening hours and many offer free days throughout the year.
When arriving you can get an idea of what the museum considers it's most cherished works by scanning the postcards in the museum gift shop. Or take a look through books that describe the museum's collection. Larger museums have kiosks, brochures, and even computer rooms for viewing the collection on a screen.
To enrich your visit you may enjoy reading TFAO'sMuseums Explained. Also, to learn how museums put together exhibitions and tour them, please see TFAO's Planning, Organizing and Touring Art Exhibitions.
How TFAO updates calendars
Future calendars are updated in two ways:
Systematically:
On a bimonthly basis, TFAO volunteers review the Calendar Update Schedule (see A-C D-G H-L M-Q R-S T-Z) to locate museums for which their furthest exhibition closing month has expired. TFAO then reviews the current and future exhibition sections of websites of targeted museums for new information. TFAO then updates the Schedule's listings for the targeted museums with new information by listing on the schedule the earlier of: 1. the furthest exhibition closing month in time or 2. a month which TFAO deems important for follow up. As a part of this review TFAO also updates the related exhibition calendar to include information on newly discovered exhibitions.
Occasionally:
Future calendars and Calendar Update Schedules are checked and updated on a continuous basis as information is received by email from museum sources.
How TFAO uses calendars
Towards the end of each month TFAO volunteers review the calendar for all of the listed exhibition openings for that month. TFAO then reviews published exhibition articles and essays in the sub-index page for each related museum to determine if Resource Library has already published an article or essay concerning each calendar listing. If _Resource Library_has not yet published an article or essay, TFAO sends by email a request for exhibition information to the museum. TFAO sends requests near the end of the exhibition opening month to allow museums time to gather .jpg images and texts from gallery guides, brochures or catalogues, exhibition wall panels and labels, as well as press releases. TFAO requires six hundred or more words of text to publish a Resource Library article or essay for an exhibition.
