MFA Thesis Exhibitions

University Galleries of Illinois State University will present the 2024 MFA Thesis Exhibitions from March 11 through March 28, 2024. All events are free and open to the public.

The 2024 MFA Thesis Exhibitions feature four simultaneous solo shows by Master of Fine Arts students in Illinois State’s Wonsook Kim School of Art: Alan Atkins, KAELIN (Ian Cooper),  Sarah Eckstine, and Jade (Minh Hà) Nguyễn.

The exhibitions are the culmination of the students’ research during their three-year program. In addition to writing a thesis and creating their artwork, each student develops their own exhibition plan, installs their work, and writes their accompanying labels. University Galleries is thrilled to partner with the Wonsook Kim School of Art to offer graduating MFA students this opportunity for professional development.
