The 2020 thesis work of the School of Fine & Performing Arts’ MFA programs has found a home online, cementing the importance of showcasing graduate students’ creative research in the absence of a physical exhibition.
“Other Worlds are Possible” presents the work of graduate students in ceramics, metal, painting and drawing, photography and related media, printmaking, and sculpture. An in-person showing at the Dorsky Museum has been postponed until the fall.
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, many students were unable to complete their thesis projects before their studios were closed. This online exhibition is a display of how the SUNY New Paltz MFA community has remained committed to their creative processes in the face of unprecedented adversity.
