2018 MFA Exhibit Reception

About the event

RECEPTION: Friday, April 6, 6-8pm, Collections and Learning Gallery, Fine Arts Center

Join us for the Master of Fine Arts Thesis Reception, organized by our curators Ryan Hardesty and Zach Mazur who’ve said, “This exhibit provides a wide range of styles and stimulating experiences for faculty, students and local museum constituents. The world-class faculty at WSU encourage the MFA candidates to become more assured and articulate in their convictions. We confidently present this year’s graduate thesis work in hopes that undergraduate students, first year graduate students and anyone willing to be moved by art while spending time at WSU will find it a fun and stimulating experience.” This annual showcase represents the culmination of two or more years work by the Master of Fine Arts graduate candidates.

MFA THESIS CANDIDATES | Jared Boorn, Anna Carpenter, Morganne Radziewicz, Krista Brand, Marguerite Gilbertson, Mana Mehrabian, and Amelia Warden. You can learn more about each artist by viewing their websites located in the right-hand sidebar.

The Museum of Art is committed to the idea that museums have a responsibility to recognize the creative talent of its region. Anna-Maria Shannon, Interim Director of the museum adds, “Exposing our audience to the culmination of two or more years work from our graduate candidates enriches the community life of Washington State University by providing meaningful encounters with creativity and innovation. Our over-arching goal is to support creativity and innovation in students who can seek out divergent opinions, examine complex issues from a variety of perspectives and find meaning in the world.”
