📣• We’re in throes of installation of Elsewhere, Otherwise, an exhibition of work by the 2026 graduates of the University of British Columbia’s two-year Master of Fine Arts program: Yihk Qu Chan, Violet Johnson, Amanda Kachadoorian Jordi, Nevada Lynn, Scott Massey and Golriz Rezvani.

Join us for the opening reception on Thursday, April 30 from 6 to 8 pm!

This program in the Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory is limited each year to a small group of five to six artists. Their contributions to this exhibition are the result of intensive feedback and development within an intimate and discursive working environment. During the past two years, these artists have worked closely with their advisory committees, engaged with their fellow MFAs in weekly group critiques and reading groups, artist talks and open studios, and built relationships with their peers and the faculty of the department’s art history and critical and curatorial streams to develop their own aesthetic, theoretical and historically grounded artistic practices.
