Celebrating the BFA graduating class of 2022

On Thursday, March 31st, students and faculty gathered at the museum to celebrate the opening of SUMMA 2022: Taking Space.

Curated by Sahra Soudi, Taking Space presents the work of 18 emerging artists, all united around the central theme of taking space and exploring each artist’s personal story.

To view the exhibition, visit the museum during open hours.
