MFA Exit 2017

The Lamar Dodd School of Art presents the Master of Fine Arts degree Exit show at the Georgia Museum of Art April 8 to May 14, with a free opening reception at the museumon Friday April 7 at 5:30 p.m.:

This year's graduates present a wide variety of work, diverse in medium, theme, scale and style. They are Thomas Bosse, Reid Brechner, Julia Megan Burchett, Ellie Dent, Jamie Diaz, Arron Foster, Meirav Goldhour, Zachary Harris, Ariel Lockshaw, Shuk Han Lui, Jonathan Nowell, Amanda Scheutzow, Stephanie Sutton and Dan Vu.

An accomplished group of artists, many of these candidates have been exhibiting their work in galleries and shows across the country for the past few years. Drawing and painting are more often incorporated into video and sculpture than hung traditionally on the wall.

After a construction hiatus of a few years, the MFA exhibition returned to the GMOA in 2013 and the annual tradition now continues. This year, the exhibition will remain installed through Commencement. Congratulations to these students, who have gained training that has come to be valued far beyond the visual arts. Best of luck moving forward and we'll see you at the opening.
