If That Makes Sense brings together the culminating work of AU MFA Studio Art candidates after two years of questioning, refining, and pushing the boundaries of their individual practices. The title, a phrase frequently used within the cohort, reflects a shared inquiry into material, concept, and process as they consider what it means to cultivate a studio practice. The works featured in this exhibition mark the moment when ideas, materials, and intentions finally make sense.

This event will be held in-person at the museum.

Please direct any questions about this event to the museum's main contact for this event, Patricia Poku at [email protected].
