The University of Washington School of Art + Art History + Design is pleased to present the 2024 Graduate Showcase, an online publication featuring the culminating work of the graduating students receiving Master of Fine Arts (MFA) and Master of Design (MDes) degrees. The website also acknowledges two Art History graduates receiving Master of Arts (MA) and Doctorate (PhD) degrees.
Throughout their programs, graduate students work with academic advisers, industry professionals, and working artists to develop advanced techniques, expand creative ideas, and discuss critical issues. Students emerge with a vision and direction for their own work and discipline, which is embodied in the concepts and pieces they have chosen to present.
Featured graduates
Master of Fine Arts: Dave Braun, F.S. Bàssïbét, Rachel Dorsey, Amara Eke, Ren Han, Michael Hong, Ali Meyer, Kevin Phan
Master of Design: Kristiaan Brauer, Maya Anne Kaneko, Min Jung Koo, Ann Mathew, Wyatt Olson, Chuanzhe Xiong
Art History MA and PhD: Bethany Palkovitz (MA), Laura Stowell (PhD).
The website also documents two graduation exhibitions in which the MFA and MDes graduates presented their thesis projects in the spring: Another Day in the Orifice: MFA Thesis Exhibition at RailSpur Seattle; and the MDes Thesis Exhibition at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery.
Explore the showcase to discover how each graduate student transformed their ideas, passions, and skills into a body of research that reflects and addresses the challenges and opportunities of the world today.
