 Discover what six weeks of focused studio practice can inspire at the inaugural Artist Residency course exhibition. This immersive summer experience gave students dedicated studio space and the opportunity to develop a self-directed body of work within a supportive community of artists. Faculty and visiting artist mentorship, installation workshopping and in-depth critiques, gallery visits, and conversations with artists and curators enriched their projects while offering valuable professional studio experience. Organized collectively by the students, the exhibition brings together the ideas, experimentation, and creative discoveries that emerged from this sustained period of making.

Join us to celebrate their work and experience the artwork from this residency experience.
