This annual exhibition offers a glimpse into the studio practices of first-year students in the Department of Art’s MFA program. As these artists navigate the early stages of a rigorous two-year inquiry, the works on view reflect experiments in form, material, and conceptual approach. The First-Year MFA Exhibition invites audiences into a moment of becoming—where ideas are still in flux, and possibility is central to the process.
