Ohio University’s School of Art + Design is proud to present this year’s MFA thesis exhibition season.
As part of the three-year MFA program, students are required to conceive, design, execute and defend a thesis exhibition. Students major in Printmaking, Ceramics, Sculpture and Expanded Practices, Photography and Integrated Media, and Painting and Drawing, but have the flexibility to work across disciplines.
Thesis exhibitions typically start on a Tuesday and end on Saturday, allowing for students to install and defend their thesis work before opening to the public.
All receptions are held on Thursdays, from 5 to 7 p.m. in the Ohio University Art Gallery and 6 to 8 p.m. in Trisolini Gallery, unless otherwise noted.
