The graduate program in Fine Arts at California College of the Arts celebrates its 2020 MFA degree candidates with a specially commissioned website. Showcasing the work of a cohort of emerging artists working across disciplines, the site has been conceived as a capstone celebration of two years of graduate work as well as an evolving response to the current moment of pandemic and its effects on artistic practice. The site will feature monographic sections, commissioned writings, visual inspirations, propositions for the future, and live-streamed events.
Please join us to celebrate its launch on April 24, 2020, at ccamfa.art. A live thesis reading will stream on Thursday, May 7, 2020. Check the website for more details.
