About “ENVISION”
In junior year, Visual Arts students at NMSA begin to delve deeper into experiments with media and concepts of their own choosing, supported by the Junior Conceptual Concerns spring semester course and the foundations work of freshman and sophomore years. What results is a wild array of diverse creations, ideas, and media for a group exhibition while also indicating the unique direction of each artist’s current creative investigation.
This exploration is guided by research, brainstorming, reflection, peer and faculty feedback, professional backward planning skills, and a deepening of their self-awareness and goals for personal expression. “Envision” provides a platform to share this initial innovative work. The group exhibition showcases specific pieces created by the students in January and February 2021 while learning virtually and at a distance due to Covid-19.
NMSA-AI and the Visual Arts Department are thankful for the continued and generous support of the
Hayes Foundation and the Stranahan Foundation.
