'Modulations' is an eclectic showcase celebrating the diverse talents of 23 emerging artists from our BFA program. A collection of illustration, graphic design, ceramics, and painting, this exhibition explores the dynamic interplay of form, color, and narrative. Each artist brings a unique perspective, offering a captivating journey through the realms of imagination, emotion, and technique. Beyond its title, 'Modulations' serves as a thematic anchor for the diverse works on display, symbolizing the fluidity and adaptability inherent in artistic expression.
