The Exhibition
Moore College of Art & Design is pleased to present its inaugural thesis exhibition of the first graduates of Moore’s MFA in Studio Art program. The exhibition presents highlights of each student’s thesis body of work that is a studio and research based inquiry culminating each student’s experience in Moore’s new intensive two-year low residency MFA program. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
The Students
The artists in the exhibition are: Rose Andolina, Cheryl Durgans, Kristin Osgood and Laura Petrovovich Cheney. All have completed the MFA low-residency program at Moore, which includes three intensive six-week summer semesters (including a one month international residency in Ireland), Fall and Spring coursework and a final written thesis to accompany their thesis exhibition.
