The new OSU Urban Arts Space in the historic Lazarus building in downtown Columbus is the site of this spring’s art exhibition featuring work by 30 MFA (master’s of fine arts) students in the Department of Art. It marks the first time all graduating MFA students will exhibit their thesis work together in this major group show. The show opens Mon, April 28 and continues until Thurs, May 22.

“Not only does this exhibition mark the conclusion of these students’ master’s studies, it is also Columbus’s introduction to 30 young professional artists,” says Sergio Soave, chair of the Department of Art. “It’s exciting for them because it celebrates their emergence into the city’s art community.”
