In Good Company
BFA Studio Art Thesis Exhibition
May 22, 2025 through Jun 14, 2025
Every spring, the Western Gallery presents works by graduating students in Western’s Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program. This year-long studio art program is designed to guide budding artists, help them build their strengths, and propel them to independent careers in contemporary art.
Sited throughout the 10 acre campus, the collection includes works by Magdalena Abakanowicz, Alice Aycock, Scott Burton, Anthony Caro, Nancy Holt, David Ireland, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Bruce Nauman, Isamu Noguchi, Tom Otterness, Beverly Pepper, Ulrich Rückreim, Richard Serra, Do Ho Suh, Mark di Suvero, Joel Shapiro, George Trakas, and Meg Webster, to mention only a few of the 35 artists represented.
Three exhibition spaces in the Performing Art Center showcase work from the Western Gallery art collection. The spaces are located by the entrances to the Concert Hall and the Mainstage Theatre in the Performing Arts Center.
The three galleries were funded through a generous support from the art patrons Virginia and Bagley Wright.
