Disruption Invites Reconciliation: SJSU Masters of Fine Art 2024

First Friday art walk: June 7, 5pm–9pm

This exhibition showcases work by nine artists, all 2024 MFA graduates of San José State University, presenting a reciprocity of vision and energy catalyzed by the artists’ engagement in the program. As the artists have worked to describe their own work, they acknowledge a distinctive push-and-pull informing their process—abstraction/figuration, process/product, personal/political, mystery/knowing, chance/control, constraints/expanse. At the same time, they have identified an intention to reconcile these polarities through the forces of harmony and unity.
