ANNUAL THESIS EXHIBITIONS
Thesis shows in Studio Art are the culmination of four academic years of undergraduate liberal arts at UVA. We, as faculty & staff, are incredibly proud of the hard work all of our students put into their creative practices and exhibitions. Students are involved with the production and installation of these exhibitions and gain valuable experience in the handling and hanging of important works of all types, as well as the work of hosting their own receptions. We all come together as a department during these Friday student exhibition receptions to recognize the student’s successful completion of the major.
RUFFIN GALLERY
Since 2008, the Ruffin Gallery is an active part of the Studio Art Program. Each year the gallery hosts four to six exhibits that serve as a showcase for contemporary art and are an integral part of the Studio Art experience. The gallery also hosts shows by the Ruffin Distinguished Artist-in-Residence. Every spring the gallery is the site of the Fourth-Year Thesis and Aunspaugh Fellows Exhibitions.
In addition to the Ruffin Gallery, student thesis exhibitions are located throughout Ruffin Hall’s other exhibition spaces.
