Ascending: The 2020 Stamps Senior Exhibition

Ascending: The 2020 Stamps School Senior Exhibition features work in a range of media by graduating BA, BFA, and Interarts Performance students.

In December 2019, students selected the exhibition title Ascending to reflect their commitment to the ongoing process of creating elevated work. The title can also serve to honor the many ways that students rose to the unprecedented challenges of creating exhibition-ready, transdisciplinary work in the midst of a global pandemic.

This digital exhibition is a celebration of the process, work, and creative fortitude of the Stamps Class of 2020.
