In partnership with the Department of Visual, Media, and Performing Arts (VMPA), the Stedman Gallery at the Rutgers—Camden Center for the Arts (RCCA) presents the annual Thesis Exhibition: Ask me Anything. This exhibition features a range of works in painting, drawing, photography, graphic design, animation, and sculpture. The work on view by 28 accomplished student artists showcases the results of visual experiments and investigations during their time at Rutgers. This exhibition celebrates the first cohort of graduating students enrolled in the newly established BFA program in Visual Arts.
The list of participating artists includes Micheal Adair, Rhiannon Atlee, Bryan Aviles, Zach Bautista, Roge Buc, Kaitlyn Buser, Allison Cangelosi, Donald Cook, Marcos G Cotto, Patrick Erwin, Naely Fajardo, Niya Harling, Nariko Johnson, Larodge Johnson-Miller, Sera Kim, Angel Ly, Mark Mclaughlin, Sam Niedbalski, Lewis Officer, Chaniyah Rhone, Kayla Rivera, Demetrio Samson, Isa Santiago, Kennedy Short, Tyler Smith, Olivia Thompson, Becca Tummini, and Melissa Vilain.
VMPA and RCCA established the Thesis Exhibition in 1985 and have been awarding a Stedman Purchase Prize to one student artist each year. The student artist’s work becomes a part of the Rutgers—Camden collection of art, which holds over 750 works from the 17th Century to the present. This Thesis Exhibition marks a special moment in the history of RCCA and the campus for its 50th anniversary of the Stedman Gallery and the Rutgers—Camden Year of the Arts celebration initiated by the Office of the Chancellor.
