2026 Thesis Exhibition Opening Reception

2024 Thesis Exhibition Opens at the Lehman College Art Gallery in the Bronx on May 15

The Lehman College Art Department is proud to present this year’s MFA, MA and BFA Thesis exhibition in collaboration with the Lehman College Art Gallery.

This year’s exhibition showcases thesis work by graduates and undergraduates. Each student’s presentation represents a year-long, creative investigation in collaboration with a faculty mentor. A spectrum of disciplines reflective of our undergraduate and graduate areas of study will be represented, including painting, animation, printmaking, bookmaking, installation, performance, sculpture, ceramics, drawing, design, and original comics.

This year, the thesis work of our graduating students explores a broad array of individual experiences alongside political and social issues of urgency today facing their communities.

The gallery's exhibitions are supported by the Charina Foundation, Jarvis and Constance Doctorow Family Foundation, Edith and Herbert Lehman Foundation, The Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation, Milton and Sally Avery Arts Foundation, Art as a Third Dimension, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, New York State Council on the Arts, and New York City Council Member Eric Dinowitz
