The Hatch Art Gallery is a student-run and student-owned art gallery in the The AMS Student Nest (the Student Union Building) on the University of British Columbia's Vancouver Campus. The Hatch's annually programmed exhibitions feature work submitted by UBC students and are planned, installed, marketed, and monitored by student volunteers.[1] The AMS Art Collection is also occasionally shown at the gallery and partially managed by Hatch volunteers.[2] The Hatch frequently partners with other clubs and organizations on and off campus in the planning and execution of exhibitions and events, including a yearly exhibition with the AMS Sexual Assault Support Center.
History
While the gallery has only been operating as "The Hatch" since the 2015 opening of the AMS Student Nest and the new gallery facility therein, it's roots go back to the 1968 opening of the Student Union Building (now called the Life Building).[2][3] The works had been on permanent public display in Brock Hall (the student union building up until 1968) since the first AMS Art Collection acquisitions in the 1940s, but the move to the SUB was the first instance of dedicated gallery space operated by the AMS.[2][4] The gallery at this stage had no official name and was referred to with a variety of generic names, primarily the "AMS Art Gallery."[5] In 1979, the Student Administration Committee moved to turn the gallery space into a temporary cocktail lounge for the first week of classes.[6] This decision proved to be so popular that it was brought back in 1980 and 1981 for a two-month period.[6] While concerns were raised over the marginalization of student work and the possibility of smoke damage to artwork, the AMS voted to permanantly convert the space into a lounge in the summer of 1982.[6] The Art Gallery Programs Committee and Fine Arts Department subsequently opted to open a new gallery space in the same building in 1983.[7][6]
