The Master of Fine Arts 2020 graduates at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design invite you to our Thesis Exhibition 2020. This is the culminating exhibition by our 2020 thesis candidates who have spent one whole year on their research, making work and developing each of their unique ideas into a final gallery show. Get a chance to view work by our high caliber, emerging artists as they host Minnesota’s creative community.

This year our candidates explore a vast array of ideas through a multitude of media including graphic Design, fiber, installation, comics, illustration, painting, drawing, interdisciplinary practice, sculpture, and multimedia.

This event is free and open to the public. Masks and 6′ physical distancing required at all times.

Gallery hours vary over the holidays. Please see our online appointment form for complete hours. Currently we have times available between December 19 and January 24. With evolving Covid restrictions, we will be keeping our online appointment form updated. Appointments are required – no drop-in visitors accepted.
