On view May 20 to 28, the show brings together over thirty undergraduate and graduate artists, reflecting a broad spectrum of conceptual inquiry and material experimentation.
The Lehman College Art Gallery presents the 2026 BFA, MA, and MFA Thesis Exhibition, opening May 20 and on view through May 28, 2026. The exhibition features the culminating work of graduating students from the Lehman College Art Department, highlighting a range of practices across digital media, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and interdisciplinary forms.
Bringing together over thirty undergraduate and graduate artists, the exhibition reflects a broad spectrum of conceptual inquiry and material experimentation. Students engage with themes including identity, memory, technology, migration, and social space, often working across traditional and emerging media. Time-based and digital works will be presented alongside physical installations, offering multiple points of entry into contemporary practice.
The exhibition represents the final stage of the thesis process, in which students develop and present a sustained body of work informed by research, references, and critical dialogue. The show highlights individual artistic voices while reflecting the program’s emphasis on contextualization, experimentation, and professional presentation.
The opening reception on May 20, from 5–8pm, will also serve as the Art Department’s year-end celebration, including an awards announcement recognizing outstanding academic achievement and a celebration of all graduating students across the department’s programs.
