SFUAD’s senior photography theses shows open April 28: Smara will be held in the Library and begin at 5 p.m. while Venerātum will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the Marion Center for Photographic Arts.

On March 24, Santa Fe University of Art and Design’s Southwest Annex was transformed into a temporary art gallery for Phát Lê, Sarah Rothenthal and Chase Stafford, the first group of seniors in the graduating class of 2016. Their Studio Arts BFA Senior Thesis Exhibition was a huge success, attracting attention from students across departments, as well as members of the Santa Fe community. But, this opening senior thesis exhibition marks the beginning of a change in the way the Studio Arts senior shows are run.

SFUAD Photography major Pam Houser’s BFA, “Jody Ellis: Aging, Loving, and Wisdom,” features black and white pictures of Ellis and sets to break stereotypes about aging.
