SUMMARY:Exhibition: Making Ground: Selected Works from the Class of 2026 — Opens
DESCRIPTION:Jacqueline Lafayette\, The Wild Chant\, 2026\, oil on canvas\nJune 8–September 6\, 2026\nArt and Design Gallery \nThis summer\, the Art and Design Gallery presents Making Ground: Selected Works from the Class of 2026\, a curated selection of highlights from the annual Graduating Student Exhibition (GSE) at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). The exhibition brings together emerging artists and designers across a wide range of disciplines in the School of Art and Design. Selected following the conclusion of the GSE\, the works on view reflect diverse practices spanning fine arts\, illustration\, photography\, textiles\, fashion\, and design. \nMaking Ground speaks to a moment of active transition\, where these artists are establishing their footing\, claiming space\, shaping direction\, and constructing the foundations of their professional practices. The exhibition also signals material and process\, evoking the surfaces\, structures\, and conceptual frameworks that underpin the work itself. Together\, the exhibition foregrounds bold experimentation and distinctive points of view\, highlighting the ambition and originality of artists and designers at the start of their professional journeys\, and spotlighting a generation of practitioners not only entering the field\, but contributing to and redefining it on their own terms. \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.
