This fall the School of Art welcomes eighteen new graduate students pursuing degrees in studio art, art history, and art education. They hail from across the country and from as far away as South Korea and reflect a wide range of perspectives and interests.

Among their ranks is a multi-media artist from rural Utah whose primary medium is trash; an art historian researching performance art with a background in child psychology and religion; an artist from the rust belt who makes models, video games, sculptures, and digital operas; a photographer with cerebral palsy who makes photographs about disability using only one hand; and an art educator from Iran researching the intersection of art, protest and social media.

“We are extremely excited about this year’s cohort, which is among the most talented and creative in recent memory,” observed Isabelle Loring Wallace, associate director of research and graduate studies.
