The Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts (MFA) Thesis Exhibitions at The Dorsky Museum
Serving as the culmination of the BFA/MFA student experience, thesis exhibits offer a valuable opportunity for students to display the work they've been diligently shaping, refining, and perfecting during their time at New Paltz. Students collaborate with each other, as well as with faculty and museum staff, to plan the exhibitions, and then work to design and install their own work.
The show is more than just a collection of final art projects: It's a chance for the campus community to celebrate our student artists' accomplishments, revel in their work, and send them off to their future creative endeavors with a truly special experience to remember. We look forward to seeing you at The Dorsky!
