Senior Thesis Exhibition 2026<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

April 17 – May 30, 2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Taking place in the spring of each year, the Senior Thesis Exhibition highlights work selected from the thesis projects of graduating seniors in Studio Art. Thesis projects vary from student to student, each pursuing an individual interest. The students featured in this year’s exhibition are Sam Bunar, Audrey Esteves, Jeremy Felton, Aratrika Ghosh, Mia Goodwin, Ella Hannaford, Bissan Kablawi, Simon Klompus, Qwynn Kobertz, Maia Schifman, and Grace Thomas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The emphasis of the program is on creating a cohesive body of related works through sustained studio practice and critical inquiry. The year-long process is overseen by Art & Visual Culture (AVC) faculty, and culminates in this exhibition. The Bates College Museum of Art maintains a close relationship with the college\u2019s AVC department, and is committed to supporting the work of Bates students through this Annual Senior Thesis Exhibition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
