The creative work of 12 graduating students ranges from traditional media such as printmaking and painting to video, photography, book arts, mixed media work, sculptural objects as well as site-specific installation.

The MFA Thesis Exhibition's opening reception happens on the same day as the BFA Senior's Exhibition, taking place up the street at the New Bedford Art Museum/ArtWorks! Having both shows within walking distance of each other amplifies the celebratory energy generated through artistic expression for the students, visitors, UMass Dartmouth, as well as for the entire community.

Selections from this exhibition will be shown at the Bromfield Gallery in Boston from May 31 through July 2, 2017, with an opening reception on Friday, June 2, 6:00 - 8:30 pm.
