The McMaster Museum of Art is delighted to present an exhibition of works by the McMaster University Studio Art class of 2016. Over the past four years, the fourteen emerging artists in this exhibition have honed their ability to discuss a variety of subjects through visual art and are pleased to present their work together for the first time. Employing a variety of traditional and unconventional techniques, these artists investigate themes such as narrative, consumerism, perception, space, ethics, and identity. Join us in celebrating the ambitious thesis works of these young artists as they develop their Exit Strategy.
