Who are these artists?
The graduating Art and Art History class of 2016 explore the position of art not solely as an exchange of question and answer, but as an opportunity for hypothesizing. Many of these artists investigate ideas of the cyclical and the entangled, emphasizing the futility of linear questioning. Using acquired skills of visual construction and media creation, the featured artists bring dialogues of probing, process, and proposition into existence.

What are their frequently answered questions?
Throughout the breadth of their academic careers, these artists have continually revisited and re-examined a multitude of questions: questions of place, questions of material, and questions of self. What are constructions of personal identity? How are attachments formed to place? How are we affected by art? And of utmost importance, what art do we choose to make?

What is to come for these artists?
These artists will continue their creative practices, whether through seeking higher education, becoming professional artists, or foraging new paths for themselves. However, all will leave with minds open to inventive risk-taking and creative experimentation, the imprint left from an inspiring journey. They will be confident to put to rest the frequently and easily answered questions, and to propose new, bold investigations.
