The Margaret Stonewall Wooldridge Hamblet Thesis Exhibitions, titled "In No Particular Order: Senior Show 2026," will open on April 10, 2026, at Vanderbilt University's Space 204 galleries. The showcase features the thesis work of ten graduating senior art majors: Caitlin Nitschke, Kira Tannenbaum, Lin Morales, Dorothy Chen, Paige Restel, Megan Grosse, Remi Marcus, Isaac Bevin Boakye, Izabella Burghardt, and Rubric Barredo. The opening coincides with a department-wide open house at the E. Bronson Ingram Studio Arts Center, displaying work from students across all art classes.
This event represents the culmination of the students' year-long Senior Year Experience, which included a New York art trip and critiques with visiting professionals. It is also the venue for the annual Hamblet Award competition, where students compete for travel grants. The exhibition and open house highlight the output of an academic year and make student work accessible to the public, while also serving as a platform for awarding several student prizes funded by endowments and local art suppliers.
