MFA Thesis Exhibition Artist Talk

Our lower gallery holds the UNC Chapel Hill MFA Thesis Exhibitions, and this Friday at 7pm you can come and hear these artists talk about their work.

The Department of Art and Art History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Contemporary Art Museum of Raleigh are proud to present four Masters of Fine Arts thesis exhibitions: Mark Anthony Brown Jr, Molly English, Matthew Troyer, and Vera Weinfield. The MA Thesis Exhibition is the culmination of an intensive two-year degree program in the visual arts driven by individual research. The program encourages interdisciplinary practice and experimentation. The four graduating artists present individual thesis exhibitions that each explore focused themes and materials, utilizing mediums ranging from painting and sculpture to photography and textiles. The thesis exhibitions reflect the culmination of each artist’s individual practice, demonstrating the research, critical thinking, and visual languages they have honed during their time in the program. Approaching challenging themes, the four artists’ work explores cultural topics that intersect with complex political questions of our day, inquiries that allow us to critically examine our lived frameworks of identity.

Admission is free to all.
