May 27 - Friday, June 17
Exhibition Opening: Thursday, May 26, 5–7pm


This year’s exhibition features work in a variety of media, including: drawing; video; performance; sculpture; painting; printmaking; virtual reality; fiber; photography; and, installation. Seen together, the thesis projects hybridize a range of conceptual themes and material approaches as they relate to visual culture, the political landscape and to contemporary art practice. The work in the exhibition represents the synthesis of each graduate candidate’s experience in the Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art program at Maine College of Art & Design.
