As It Was will include a juried selection of artworks from students who received their BA, BFA, or MFA between the Spring 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters, during which they were unable to have an in-person graduate exhibition due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Students continued to make exceptional art throughout this time which was only able to be viewed through online exhibitions. The BFA, BA, and graduate programs are dedicated to preparing practicing studio artists for advanced study and a career in art, which includes the chance to install and showcase their work. The exhibition, curated by BFA graduates Natalie Luong and Paris Valladares, will include work from areas of printmaking, ceramics, photography, painting and mixed media.
