Graduate Degree Exhibition of Cranbrook Academy of Art

For the first time in its history, Cranbrook Academy of Art is hosting its Graduate Degree Exhibition of Cranbrook Academy of Art in a virtual environment. The Academy announced today that it is launching a new website dedicated to the graduating Class of 2020.

The new site features a page dedicated to each student and a gallery of their work. There is also contact information allowing others to reach out to the graduates for commissions, exhibitions, job opportunities, sales, and more.

“Placing the exhibition online due to the COVID-19 outbreak was necessary this year, although we still hope to give this group of students a chance to display their work in a physical space in the summer of 2021,” said Susan R. Ewing, the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Director of Cranbrook Academy of Art. “This is an incredibly talented group of students, and it was critical for us to find a way to showcase their work to the world.”

There are 63 students featured on the site from 10 of the Academy’s 11 departments: 2D Design, 3D Design, Architecture, Ceramics, Fiber, Metalsmithing, Painting, Photography, Print Media, and Sculpture. Our new 4D Design department will have its first group of graduates in May of 2021.

The site will remain up until May of 2021, when the Academy plans to replace it with the Class of 2021. Visit the site here.
