Reception: 2026 MFA Graduates Exhibition

Event Details

The Hite Institute of Art + Design is pleased to share details of our 2026 MFA Graduates Exhibition. On view June 12 - July 3, 2026, at the Cressman Center for Visual Arts, this annual exhibition presents the work of our most recent cohort of MFA Graduates in a shared presentation highlighting their individual practices.

Utilizing specific media, techniques, and individualized research, the culminating bodies of work of our MFA Graduates is uniquely their own, and is presented in their solo thesis exhibitions during their final semester. This group presentation, however, allows us to view their work in the context of their shared experiences while studying at Hite, and presents an opportunity for audiences to seek out the shared ideas and styles that emerge when artists are sharing spaces and conversations.

We invite you to view the 2026 MFA Graduates Exhibition while on view at the Cressman Center June 12 - July 3, 2026. A reception will be held Friday June 26, from 5 - 7 p.m. Free and open to the public, we hope you will join us.

For 2026, participating artists in the MFA Graduates Exhibition include: Alana Fitzgerald, Sarah Jane Castellon, Stephanie Laporte Ferrer, and Drew Scanlon.

The Cressman Center is open Fridays and Saturdays 11 - 4 p.m.
