Kaori Kitao Gallery
The Kitao Gallery space was acquired in 1999 through the joint efforts of the Student Art Association (now the Kitao Gallery Board) and the Photography Club. The student art “movement” won the referendum against SCCS to become the only public student art space for students. Previous to 1999, this beautiful Tudor style building was merely used for storage and small events. Renovation of the space was completed in 2000. In May 2001, the gallery was dedicated to retired art history professor, T. Kaori Kitao.
The Kitao Gallery holds up to seven exhibitions per semester. All students are welcome to apply for an exhibition. Individual students, student groups, and entire classes have held shows in this newly renovated gallery space. In addition to the opening, each show is allotted up to eight hours open to the public. The exact hours will vary per individual show.
If you would like to apply for an individual or group show, please contact Lauren Stokes ’09, the co-coordinator of Kitao, at lstokes1@swarthmore.edu.
We look forward to seeing you throughout the semester at each innovative and creative student exhibition!
