The display of work by MFA graduate candidates was organized by Keith Wells, the late Museum of Art curator. "This exhibition provides a wide range of styles for faculty, students and local museum constituents,” Wells said. "The world class faculty at WSU encourage the MFA candidates to become more confident and articulate in their convictions. The museum presents this year’s graduate thesis work in hopes that undergraduate students, first year graduate students and anyone willing to be moved by art will find it a fun and stimulating experience.”

The 2013 MFA candidates are Meghan Flynn, Meghan Hedley, Catherine Jensen, Jennifer Saracino, Lisa Soranaka and Austin Stiegemeier. To learn more about them and their art, see the museum website at http://bit.ly/12crdPK or look on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Museum-of-Art-WSU.
