Committee Recommendations for Art Displays
- Because some art features sensitive topics, but we desire not to censor art, the following recommendations are made:
- Art with sensitive subjects should be displayed so that passersby can choose not to engaged with the art
- "Trigger warnings" should be provided on the outside of the exhibit
- One simple way to achieve this is to face the art away from the rest of the room and away from main walkways through the room
- creating visual barriers, such as temporary room dividers, to separate the art gallery from the rest of the room is another method suggested
