The Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis is pleased to announce the opening of A Thing Like You and Me: 2020 MFA in Visual Art Thesis Exhibition and smoke, signals, space: 2021 MFA in Visual Art Thesis Exhibition.
The MFA in Visual Art program culminates in the thesis exhibition every spring at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum. This spring we celebrate the work and accomplishments of the class of 2020 and 2021 in separate yet parallel in-person exhibitions.
These exhibitions reflect the critical conversations, interdisciplinary investigations, collective visions, and diverse practices of these two groups of artists. Their works are testaments to the power and persistence of art and the irrepressible drive of artmaking. The students, faculty, and staff of the MFA in Visual Art program in the Sam Fox School invite you to celebrate the work of this new generation of artists, surfacing in this time of such extraordinary global and national change, poised to impact the future.
