Art Installation Guidelines & Resources

ART INSTALLATION ASSISTANCE
We offer in-person assistance with art installation via appointment. These appointments are necessary if you are installing media equipment from the Media Center. To make an appointment with our Exhibitions Services Lead Specialist, please email exhibition_studio_services@mcad.edu with details about your installation, including when and where you will need assistance. Though we are sometimes available for walk-ins, we can't guarantee availability. If you have a site-specific installation planned, or need advice on how to install your work, please contact us well ahead of time!
