C33 Fall 2024 Exhibition Program The Department of Exhibitions, Performances, and Student Spaces (DEPS) offers students at Columbia College Chicago the opportunity to exhibit their art within a gallery setting at the C33 Gallery on Columbia’s campus. Students within any field of study are open to submit their work, be it a solo, or group exhibit. Exhibits with more than 3 people should be submitted to the Hokin Gallery.
This Fall 2023 semester we are looking to book 3 exhibitions. If selected,  be prepared to be available to install and deinstall said exhibit during Spring semester of 2024.
