The New York Studio School is delighted to invite you to the MFA Thesis Exhibition for the Class of 2025. Under the thoughtful curation of Dean Kaitlin McDonough and esteemed critic Karen Wilkin, this show celebrates the remarkable range and depth of work that emerges when rigorous observation guides artistic practice. Now in its 60th year, the School remains committed to nurturing contemporary artists who confidently draw upon art’s rich history as they engage with today’s creative conversations.

Our first and second floors will be transformed into gallery spaces, presenting new bodies of work by our graduating cohort. The exhibition will be on view from Wednesday, May 14, through Wednesday, May 28, with an opening reception on Thursday, May 15, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM. Galleries are open daily, 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

For press inquiries or information about acquiring works, please contact Jacob Brooks at jbrooks@nyss.org. We look forward to welcoming you.

Time: 5:00-8:00 pm EST
