2011 Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition

We are very proud of these six M.F.A. students. Although San Francisco State has faced the hardest economic conditions in recent memory during their time here, they have thrived, producing innovative and original work. Artists, after all, have a long tradition of turning adversity to their advantage, of creatively “making do.” These students are no exception. They have shown serious commitment to their own work and generosity toward one another and towards their larger academic and artistic communities. It has been a pleasure to work with them. And it is an honor and a privilege to be able to acknowledge their achievements here.—Gwen Allen, assistant professor of art history
