Surplus Gallery
The School of Art and Design Surplus Gallery is an approximately 4,000-square-foot gallery conducive to both experimental and traditional exhibitions, performances, and art events. The gallery's name originates from the space's former function as SIU's Surplus Property storage and is located in the studio art building that was formally the Good Luck Glove Factory. The gallery maintains an industrial ambience derived from its origin, but with track lighting and a polished concrete floor the Surplus Gallery serves as the premier space for cutting-edge, high-quality art in the region.
Exhibitions range from MFA thesis and graduating senior shows, to the "Art Over Easy" benefit exhibition and auction, the annual "Love at the Glove," "Process, Performance, Projection," and C4 sculpture events, to invitational shows featuring artists from across the region and country.
The Surplus Gallery is located at 432 South Washington, on the northwest corner of Washington and College in downtown Carbondale. Now accepting proposal applications. Deadline for Submission: MARCH 22, 2024, by NOON for Fall 2024 exhibitions.
