On April 26, 2025, the School of the Arts held its annual MFA Thesis Exhibition at the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery, featuring twenty-nine emerging and established artists. Curated by Amal Issa, the show spans a wide range of mediums including installations, videos, paintings, drawings, and sculptures, with many works exploring themes of memory, ancestry, and identity. Notable pieces include Maya Dixon's immersive installation using gourds and found objects, Daniel Castro's surreal cityscapes, and Ridwana Rahman's interactive carpet piece that invites reflection on direction and prayer.
