BFA & MFA Thesis Spring 26
April 24 – May 19, 2026
The Dorsky Museum presents thesis exhibitions by graduating BFA and MFA students from SUNY New Paltz’s Department of Fine & Performing Art. These shows are the culmination of years of research, experimentation, and creative growth brought to life in public. Spanning a wide range of disciplines and media, these exhibitions showcase a new generation of artists as they share their unique visions with the world.
