The Euphrat Museum of Art invites your participation
Proposal of Ideas for Exhibitions
The Program Committee of the Euphrat Museum of Art is considering concepts for future exhibitions and accepting proposals. Ideas can come from on campus or off, from students, educators, artists, community members, people of all ages and backgrounds. The Euphrat is a forum for interdisciplinary thinking, crossing boundaries of cultures and academic disciplines, and serving as a resource for both community and college.

Euphrat Museum of Art
Program Description
The purpose of the Euphrat Museum is to research, produce, and present challenging exhibitions and educational material that provide a resource of visual ideas and a platform for communications. The Euphrat structures itself as a forum of ideas about art expressed through one-of-a-kind exhibitions, publications, and events. Museum exhibitions and publications highlight our rich multicultural heritage; enhance understanding of art fundamentals, art history, and esthetics; and augment college instruction in the liberal arts and other disciplines.
The Euphrat Museum's vision of itself is of a forum for interdisciplinary thinking, crossing boundaries of cultures and academic disciplines, and serving as a resource for both community and college.
The Euphrat involves the community and campus in the process of developing and presenting its exhibitions, publications, and educational programs. Exhibitions begin with a question, and often utilize focus groups. The process of research and collaboration involves Director, Euphrat staff (part of a total team effort), artists, community people, academicians, historians, and/or others with a particular interest in a topic — women and men of diverse backgrounds and of all ages reflect upon this question, both individually and collectively. Because the Museum has no predetermined idea about what the art or answers should be, these reflections tap into new ideas, unusual art sources, and vastly different points of view, which alter the original conception of the exhibition and publication. Artists of many backgrounds are included in exhibitions — artists of many cultures, men and women, emerging artists as well as those with national and international reputations. We eschew segregating artists or others by gender, race, or cultural background but seek diversity and dialog in everything we do.
We look at esthetic discussion, at general issues related to gender, race, religion, age, ethnicity, class, physical ability, and sexual orientation, and, more generally, at value clarification, empowerment, community building, and a climate for learning. We seek artwork relating to the needs, interests, history, and cultural heritage of the communities we serve, with particular attention to underserved and underrepresented communities. Exhibitions often situate local concerns within the context of national and international concerns.
