2026 MFA Thesis Exhibition

A tradition since 1970, the School of Art and the University of Arizona Museum of Art will host the 2026 Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition along with the school’s Joseph Gross Gallery.

During the last year of their coursework, graduates work closely with faculty to develop a body of original art to present to the public in lieu of a written thesis. The end result offers visitors the opportunity to see new, cutting-edge art in a variety of mediums and styles.

Eight MFA artists are scheduled to present their work:

• Arshia Amin
• Aubrey Behrens
• Andrés Caballero
• Molly Iris Etchberger
• Alexis Joy Hagestad
• Dylan Hawkinson
• Maya Jackson
• Matthew Kennedy

The closing reception is Thursday, May 14, from 5 to 7 p.m.

UAMA is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Gross Gallery is open Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
