| Students from Virginia Commonwealth University’s School of the Arts will be displaying their finest work in a series of exhibitions at VCUarts Anderson Gallery, 907 1/2 W. Franklin St. The two-part Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition will run April 21- May 30 (Round I) and May 5 - 14 (Round II), with opening receptions scheduled for the first day of each round.
The Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition is the final requirement for students earning a master’s degree in the fine arts and design departments from VCU. The exhibitions provide a forum for emerging artists to display their work and give viewers a “preview” of new directions in the visual arts. Each of the participating artists will exhibit work that represents the culmination of their 2 year masters program in one of the following areas: painting, printmaking, sculpture, communication arts and design, crafts, photography, and interior design. “These exhibitions provide an excellent opportunity for viewers to invest in up-and-coming artists, as many of the pieces on view will be for sale,” said Amy Moorefield, assistant director and curator of collections for the Anderson Gallery. Round 1 of the Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition will be on display from April 21– 30, with an opening reception Friday, April 21st at 5 p.m. Round 2 of the Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition will be on display from May 5 – May 14 with an opening reception on May 5th at 5 pm
The public is invited to attend all of these events and exhibitions. VCUarts Anderson Gallery hours are Monday – Friday 10 am– 5 pm and Saturday and Sunday 1– 5 pm.
