The Annual Thesis Exhibition for PAFA's Low-Residency MFA program, featuring the work of Jason Byrd, Sophia Camacho, Margery Cercado, Julia Haines, Mark Partridge, Kate Powell, Brighton Smith, and Carla Taylor.
PAFA's Low-Residency Master of Fine Arts program is designed for students who desire the community, support and rigor of a traditional MFA, but with a more flexible structure to fit their lives and schedules. Similar to our traditional MFA, the Low-Residency program focuses on independent studio work and is interdisciplinary in nature, welcoming a wide range of approaches to art-making. The Low-Residency MFA gives students the tools to engage deeply and critically with making their work while thinking about their practice in relation to contemporary and historical art and ideas.
Join us for the Opening Reception on Wednesday, August 7th from 5pm - 7pm.
