The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is gearing up for an exciting showcase as they roll out the red carpet for their 2025 MFA Thesis Exhibition, set to open later this month. The exhibition will feature the culminating work of Master of Fine Arts graduate candidates—from March 25 through June 28. Visitors will have a unique opportunity to delve into the artists' journeys during the Artist Talks scheduled for Spring Family Weekend on April 4, from 3:00-4:00 p.m., with an opening reception to follow in the museum galleries until 6:00 p.m.
Representing a myriad of artistic visions and endeavors, this year's class, composed of Cameron Kester, Anna Le, Abigail Nnaji, and Sara St. Clair, hail from diverse backgrounds. They have poured their essence into an intense interdisciplinary studio program that culminated in the works primed for display. The exhibition announcement details how these students engaged with faculty through rigorous critiques and benefited from unique perspectives offered by visiting artists and scholars.
It is within the walls of the Crimson Cube, where this event unfolds, a space familiar to those at the WSU Pullman campus—the museum set across from Martin Stadium and the CUB. Regular museum hours after the opening will run Tuesday through Friday, from 1:00-4:00 p.m., and extend on Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If you're planning to join the museum in celebrating the achievements of these emerging artists, mark your calendar; the museum’s doors are open to the public, with no admission fees, as revealed in the press release shared by the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU.
Thanks to generous contributions from the Samuel H. and Patricia W. Smith Endowment as well as the Department of Art and friends of the museum, the exhibition remains accessible to all who seek to experience the creative thresholds crossed by Kester, Le, Nnaji, and St. Clair.
