2021 Incoming Graduate Student Exhibition

The Department of Art and Art History in the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Miami (UM) presents the work of incoming Master of Fine Arts (MFA) graduate students. The MFA program is a 60-credit, three-year program resulting in a terminal degree that both prepares students to enter the professional, studio art world and qualifies them for college teaching. The program is highly competitive, with applicants coming from across the country and around the world. This year’s artists are Mariana Espindola (Photography), Sepideh Kalani (Ceramics), Catherine Kramer (Printmaking), and Alyssa Wood (Photography).
