Interior Architecture on Display at UWSP’s Carlsten Art Gallery

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP) is highlighting the creative and technical achievements of its Interior Architecture (IA) program with a new exhibition at the Carlsten Art Gallery.

Titled “Interior Architecture and The Art of Accreditation”, the exhibition traces the student journey through UWSP’s four-year Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Visitors can view an array of projects, concepts, and design skills that demonstrate how students develop from foundational coursework to advanced professional practice.

Exhibit Dates and Details

The exhibit runs through Friday, October 24, with a public reception scheduled for Thursday, October 23, from 5:30–7:30 p.m..

The Carlsten Art Gallery is located on the second floor of the Noel Fine Arts Center and is free to the public. Gallery hours are: - Tuesday through Friday: 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. - Saturday: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

A Program Rooted in Accreditation and Excellence

The exhibition emphasizes the rigorous standards of UWSP’s IA curriculum, which is designed to meet the criteria of the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA). The program undergoes review every 7–10 years to ensure it continues to deliver an education that blends academic excellence with real-world design skills.

With CIDA accreditation, graduates benefit from a direct pathway to professional licensure and are prepared to enter an evolving industry where design and sustainability play central roles.

Carlsten Art Gallery: A Hub for Creativity and Community

The Carlsten Art Gallery has long been a cornerstone of UWSP’s College of Fine Arts and Communication, offering exhibitions that range from emerging student talent to internationally recognized artists. The gallery not only showcases artistic innovation but also fosters community engagement and cultural exploration for Central Wisconsin audiences.

As the gallery continues to highlight the intersections of art, design, and education, this Interior Architecture exhibition underscores UWSP’s dedication to preparing the next generation of creative professionals.
