Providing our extended community a wonderful opportunity to experience contemporary art created in Bloomington-Normal, the MFA Biennial highlights selected work by the 18 students currently enrolled in the program. Steeped in current issues within the field, as well as historical traditions, these students adhere to standards of excellence in order to achieve mastery in their individual studio practices.
