COUNTERPOINT: SUMMA 2019 - McMaster University BFA Student Exhibition

The Cotton Factory
April 04, 2019 by Akin Collective in Event, Exhibitions

Since entering the McMaster Studio Art program in 2015, our class has developed and grown as individuals and as a group. There is harmony found within the juxtaposition of our individual concepts, thoughts, and ideas. By contrasting one another, we make way to highlight the individuality of each respective artist; not overpowering each other, but forming a melodic equilibrium. With the elements of our art practices merging and influencing one another, Counterpoint is a commemoration of experiences and artistic endeavours.
– The McMaster BFA Class of 2019

MCMASTER UNIVERSITY BFA PROGRAM
Studio Art at McMaster University is a small, highly-selective program, giving students exceptional opportunities to gain in-depth knowledge of numerous areas of study, including printmaking, drawing, sculpture, painting, mixed-media, installation, and ceramics/foundry. Along with major studio courses, this allows students to build a significant body of work and to explore and develop their artistic talents. Find out more.

*McMaster Museum of Art (MMA) has hosted the Studio Art Graduation exhibition for more than 30 years but necessary building updates forced it to temporarily close March 19 – August 23, 2019. The MMA continues to support the BFA student activities including the SUMMA exhibition, sponsors art student awards, and looks forward to future SUMMA presentations.
