2024 MFA Thesis Exhibitions: Art, Work, Agency

The Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University opens its 2024 MFA Thesis Exhibitions (February 28 - April 27) with a seven-week series of concurrent solo shows by 29 second-year students.

Collectively, the works reflect a variety of discipline-centric and mixed-media practices that celebrate visual narratives and explore the interplay of diverse materials, digital processes as a companion to hand fabrication, draftsmanship in printmaking, and multicultural perspectives and personal identity in graphic design, illustration, and UX/UI design.
