Spillover

CCS Bard’s Hessel Museum of Art presents Spillover, the eleven graduate thesis exhibitions from the class of 2024. At the culmination of the CCS Bard graduate program in curatorial studies, each student presents a master’s degree thesis project, including a scholarly paper and a curated project which can be a group or solo exhibition, new commission, screening series, performance, discursive platform, or any other curatorial endeavor. Graduate theses at CCS Bard are ambitious undertakings produced on a Museum level with the support of a full exhibitions team and in consultation with faculty.

Spillover is presented concurrently with Promenade: Flowers and Figuration in the Marieluise Hessel Collection, also curated by members of CCS Bard’s graduating class.

More information on these exhibitions can be found on our website here.
