The School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York is hosting a series of exhibitions and events throughout December 2025 and into January 2026. Highlights include "Wavelengths," a juried alumni survey at SVA Chelsea Gallery; "Act 1: Geraldine Scott III," a solo exhibition by alumnus Lillian Ansell at SVA Gramercy Gallery; "The Book Show" featuring first-year MFA students; "Migrant Housing: Water as a Medium for Healing" at SVA Flatiron Gallery; and "fables for introverts, chapter iii: limbo" by Gerald Euhon Sheffield II at SVA Flatiron Project Space. Events include open studios, a lecture on the anti-Nazi "Red Orchestra" group, and an artists' roundtable with Samson Young.
These programs matter because they showcase the breadth of emerging talent and interdisciplinary practice at one of the country's leading art schools, while also engaging the public with timely themes such as migration, healing, and historical resistance. The exhibitions and events reinforce SVA's role as a vital hub for contemporary art education and community dialogue, bridging student work with professional curatorial and critical perspectives.
