"Inspired by Inquiry," an exhibition of artworks by students in the Studio Art M.F.A. program created in response to the university's numerous collections. Each artwork was created by a Master’s student as a result of researching, investigating and responding to a collection. Spanning a variety of media, the artworks highlight the creative depth as well as the intellectual values and interests of this MFA cohort. The show invites viewers to witness lineages, ruminate on forgotten histories, and reconnect with the past. By highlighting how the boundaries of knowledge and art are continually redefined, "Inspired by Inquiry" illustrates the significance of creativity within culture, society and academia.
The participating M.F.A. students include Olivia Arnold, Holly Barrett, Alexa Bebon, Veronica Clapp, Ileana Haberman, Lisa Helland, Con Ray, Danyel’la Johnson, Savannah Jubic, Gracie Klingbeil, Boneger Kwarteng, Taej Laughery, Ellie Prisbrey, and Javier Viramontes.
The exhibition remains on view through April 26. Visiting hours are Tuesday through Friday, 11 am to 4:30 pm.
