Boston University College of Fine Arts School of Visual Arts<\/strong><\/a> (SVA) is pleased to present the Class of 2024 Master of Fine Arts (MFA) Thesis Exhibitions, on view from April 2-20, 2024. The MFA thesis exhibitions<\/a> feature works of graduating students in BU\u2019s MFA programs in Graphic Design<\/a>, Painting<\/a>, Sculpture<\/a>, Print Media & Photography<\/a>, and Visual Narrative<\/a>. This is the first thesis exhibition for the Print Media & Photography and Visual Narrative programs since their launch in 2022. With 61 participating students, the MFA Class of 2024 represents the largest cohort of graduating MFA students in the BU School of Visual Arts.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Also new for this year, SVA\u2019s thesis exhibitions have expanded beyond BU and the traditional gallery space. The MFA Painting Thesis Exhibition will be on view at Boston University Art Galleries\u2019<\/a> Faye G., Jo, and James Stone Gallery; BU Art Galleries\u2019 808 Gallery hosts the MFA Print Media & Photography and MFA Graphic Design (Side B<\/em>) Thesis Exhibitions; and the MFA Visual Narrative Thesis Exhibition is taking place at the College of Fine Arts\u2019 Commonwealth Gallery. The MFA Sculpture Thesis Exhibition will be a satellite show off-campus, on view in Allston at 1270 Commonwealth Avenue, an empty space that was once a drugstore and pharmacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese MFA graduate students reveal highly individualized practices informed by culture, locale, historical research, texts, the property of materials, and the body\u2019s relationship to the physical world. The studio is a site of transformation where the expansion of learning and the compression of making meet, as Painting MFA candidate James Gold aptly describes it in his catalog statement,\u201d says Dana Clancy<\/a>, BU School of Visual Arts Director and Associate Professor of Art, \u201cOur graduate Class of 2024 are artists and designers who have weathered much recent cultural change and flux. A sense of experimentation and attention to community are both fostered through intense studio work, dialogue, and shared social time in and across programs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BU community and the public are invited to experience the exhibitions and attend the receptions. Details regarding the exhibition hours and public receptions on April 12 and April 19 are listed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
