About this website

This website serves as our first purely digital catalog for the 2016 MFA + MDes Thesis Exhibition, which was on view at the Henry Art Gallery May 27 – June 26, 2016.

Here you will also find profiles on our Art History MA + PhD Graduates of the class of 2016.

Work on the website was done by School of Art + Art History + Design staff members, primarily Leena Joshi with assistance from Merith Bennett and Jeanette Mills.
