Opening November 6, the Fall 2026 BFA Thesis Exhibition at CVA presents the innovative work of emerging artists from the Department of Art at Metropolitan State University of Denver. This bi-annual showcase not only marks the culmination of their undergraduate studies but also offers a vital platform for students to engage with the local arts community.

This semester’s body of work represents nuanced topics framing what it means to be an individual in contemporary society, exploring themes of heritage, transformation, and memory. The artists consider how perception is shaped by social, cultural, and political systems—and whose experiences are centered or marginalized within them. Using mediums ranging from ceramics and textiles to painting and video, the artists question how identity is shaped by cultural forces and personal histories.

 

Featured Artists:

Elizabeth Bautista, Cheyne Iman, and Nico Scott

 

Join CVA for a celebration of the artists at the opening reception Friday, November 6, 6 – 8 pm. Admission to CVA is free and open to everyone.
