About the Exhibition

Whether focused within or across disciplines, the MSU MFA student is characterized by a desire to push beyond the boundaries of existing art and design paradigms. Each MFA student therefore defines and customizes their own integrative, multi-disciplinary or media-focused program under the guidance of a faculty committee selected by the student. Utilizing a recursive approach, student artists/scholars work with their committee to refine their research and artistic goals and to develop a unique project and written thesis. The MSU Department of Art, Art History, and Design celebrates the creative research of Kelsey Blacklock, Ursula Heder, Lewis, and christian olid-ramirez as evidence of their achievement and continuing artistic and scholarly promise.
