The Department of Fine Arts and UWAG present the first of two thesis exhibitions by Master of Fine Arts (MFA) candidates from the graduate program in Fine Arts at the University of Waterloo. MFA Thesis gives the campus and community-at-large an opportunity to see the end result of two years of intensive research and studio production by emerging visual artists.

PASSAGE + OBSTACLE is presented in cooperation with BRIDGES WATERLOO 2017.

Any personal property not picked up by 8:30 AM on August 2, 2017 will be THROWN IN THE GARBAGE.

If you wish to keep your stuff (artwork, personal belongings and raw materials) you must pick up it all up before Trash day! Anything left in the: studios, lockers, hallways, cubbies, alcoves and closets will be thrown out on Wednesday, August 2, 2017.

Come and join us on Thursday September 14 for a Welcome Back Barbecue hosted by the Society of Fine Arts (SoFA) and the Fine Arts Department.  

Join us at 11:30 am on the grass at the front (facing Philip Street) of East Campus Hall to meet the faculty and your 2017 SoFA representatives and to find out what's planned for Fall 2017.  See you there.

Find, Show, and Tell.

In order to attend, you must bring with you something that you found. It should be something that you really like and that inspires you.

UW Fine Arts invites you to our annual Shantz International Research Scholarship presentations. Each year, four Master of Fine Arts (MFA) students spend six weeks of their third term studying abroad with professional artists, and the Shantz scholarships make it possible.
