Fall 2020 Bachelor of Fine Arts show
The Fall 2020 BFA Show marks the second time the School of Art will host our graduating students’ artwork exclusively online. Our students once again have met the challenge to be creative and succeed despite the limitations and health concerns we find ourselves facing today. Throughout time artists have made artwork during our history’s most trying and difficult moments. Our students will be the creative and intellectual inheritors of a post-Covid world. The art produced this semester are the creative signposts pointing the way to a new future.
To all the family and friends of our graduating students, the faculty of the School of Art thanks you for your continued support. We sympathize and understand it takes a community to engage in the arts. Our students have succeeded with meeting the expectations of engaging with our community, inviting us to participate and celebrate their artwork online. Now let us sit back, look and learn. Let us still ask questions…let us still be inspired.
