Concurrently, Assistant Professor Chris Balaschak's Curatorial Practice class has organized a library to complement the B.A. portfolio exhibition. Focused on the history of curating contemporary art, the Curatorial Practice class was interested in providing a space for interpretation and reflection on the artwork produced by Flagler's B.A. students.

The library will include interviews with the B.A. students, curatorial statements, and a selection of materials such as books, videos, and music that are meant to enhance the public reception of the BA students' artwork.
