The UMass Dartmouth MFA Thesis Exhibition is a much anticipated and celebrated annual event showcasing the artwork of graduating Master of Fine Arts students from the College of Visual and Performing Arts. The creative work of these graduating students includes painting, drawing, ceramics, digital media, and site-specific installation.

The Class of 2024 was, in particular, challenged by the sudden closure of the Star Store Campus in New Bedford last summer. That building housed their studio spaces, many of the facilities they depended on to make their work, and even the University Art Gallery where we have hosted the annual MFA show for more than two decades. With amazing resilience, though, each of these students, and in their own way, embodies the true spirit of the artist who is driven to make work, overcoming the obstacles often laid down in front of them.
