Master of Fine Arts: Thesis ExhibitionMarch 31, 2026 – June 27, 2026Tuesday through Saturdays from 10am to 4pm, CLOSED Sunday, Monday
The annual "MFA Thesis Exhibition" is the culmination of three or more years work by the Master of Fine Arts graduate candidates. With its wide range of art-making approaches, it provides a stimulating experience for faculty, students, and museum visitors. This year’s MFA candidates are Keegan Baatz, S. Camille Comer, and Kahyun (Kate) Uhm.
Arriving from diverse locations, these student-artists immersed themselves in an intensive, interdisciplinary studio experience. Through regular group discussions and individual critiques with faculty, alongside sustained engagement with visiting artists and scholars, they received wide-ranging perspectives on their work. Over time, each artist strengthened their voice, refined their practice, and clarified their artistic direction. This MFA Thesis Exhibition represents both a culmination of focused study and a meaningful threshold as they step into their professional lives.
LOCATION | The Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is located in the Crimson Cube (on Wilson Road across from Martin Stadium and the CUB) on the WSU Pullman campus.

Mimi Jung: An Unfinished Origin ExhibitionMarch 31, 2026 – June 27, 2026Tuesday through Saturdays from 10am to 4pm, CLOSED Sunday, Monday
"Mimi Jung: An Unfinished Origin" brings together recent sculptural works from this Helena, Montana-based artist. The loom has long served as the foundation of her methodical and often labor-intensive process, where the slow creation of each piece allows for deliberate shaping and assessment over time. Using unexpected and unconventional materials like paper and foam as wefts, a variety of non-traditional strings as warps, as well as woven pieces cast in metal, the artist’s work rewards close inspection, asking us to slow down and engage reflectively.
Central to her concerns are the gaps between what we believe we know and what remains unknown, creating space for wonder, contemplation, and connection. Correspondingly, her woven forms are intentionally ambiguous and in a state of change. Their structures invite multiple interpretations appearing near completion, undergoing deconstruction, or suspended between concealment and exposure. Jung relates this fluidity to one’s own sense of evolving self.
“The core component of my work has always been identity and self-preservation,” says the artist. “It’s about how our narratives constantly evolve to fit into a much larger cultural narrative in order to survive.”

Visit Glacial Heritage Preserve, open to the public just this one day of the year. It is a restored prairie that may now look much the way it was when Lewis and Clark arrived in the west. Once prairies were a predominate ecosystem stretching from British Columbia to California. Now about 3% of prairie habitat remains. On the 1,000 acre Preserve you can see a vast array of the plants and animals that are found on prairies. The celebration features a hayride, children's games, native plant identification workshops, educational booths, a 4 mile walking trail, early morning bird walk (weather permitting, up to 70 species of birds can be sighted).
