The UMass Dartmouth 2021 MFA Thesis Exhibition is a much anticipated and celebrated annual event showcasing the artwork of graduating students from the College of Visual and Performing Arts. The creative work of graduating students ranges from traditional media such as painting, sculpture, ceramics, to digital media or site-specific installation.
UMass Dartmouth Gallery Director Viera Levitt says that “the exhibition, to the credit of the artists, does not shy away from the darkness of the past, the two pandemic driven years shrouded in violence and looming climate catastrophe, but showcases as well, a light of hope and a path to get there. From intimate and quiet to loud and bold, this work presents the complexity of our times as well as the internal worlds of these young artists, engaged in exploratory journeys.”
The UMass Dartmouth 2022 MFA Thesis Exhibition is open daily from 9 am to 6 pm at Star Store Campus - University Art Gallery, Crapo Gallery, Swain Studio, Gallery 244, and Bubbler Gallery through May 6. The Artist Talks are planned for Thursday, AHA! Night, April 14 at 7 pm. The projections in the Swain Studio are available for viewing from the Purchase Street daily till 10 pm.
All events are free and open to the public.
