The School of the Arts | School of Art+Design at Purchase College, SUNY presents 8 degrees, the 2012 MFA Thesis Exhibition at Lu Magnus in New York City. The exhibition is curated by Stamatina Gregory and features work by Alex Branch, Courtney Childress, Jen Dawson, Aaron Krach, Jon Price, Margaret Rizzio, Bradford Smith, and Glenn Wonsettler. The reception will take place Saturday, May19th, from 7–9pm, and is free and open to the public.
The MFA Thesis Exhibition is the capstone of the two-year interdisciplinary, pluralistic graduate program at the School. Under the direction of Coordinators Kate Gilmore, Nancy Bowen, and Stamatina Gregory, the small and highly selective program fosters the artistic, intellectual, and professional growth of each student through exposure to a variety of viewpoints represented by faculty, visiting artists and critics, and through independent studio work and academic studies.
The School of Art+Design, part of the School of the Arts at Purchase College, SUNY, offers premiere programs that prepare students for careers in the visual arts and design, as well as lives informed by aesthetic experience. The school honors tradition, encourages experimentation and collaboration, develops critical thinking, and embraces new concepts, materials and technologies. A faculty of working artists is committed to creating a supportive climate in which students are passionate about learning to see, to think, to make, and to reflect. Our graduates are leaders in cultural production throughout the world.
