The 2026 MFA + MDes Thesis Exhibition was presented at the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle from May 16–June 14, 2026. It featured the thesis work of ten graduates receiving Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degrees in New Genres, Painting + Printmaking, and 3D4M: ceramics + glass + sculpture, and Master of Design (MDes). Produced in close collaboration with the Henry Art Gallery, the MFA + MDes Thesis Exhibition marks an important milestone for these emerging artists and designers, bringing new bodies of work into dialogue with a broad public audience within a contemporary art museum setting.
