Group exhibition: 'SCAD deFINE ART 2026 Painting and Photography Showcase'

The annual SCAD deFINE ART Painting and Photography Showcase highlights the strength of the university’s top-ranked degree programs through works by nominated graduate students. The exhibition captures the diverse, evolving disciplines and current interests of emerging artists, offering a glimpse into themes and concerns shaping the trajectory of creative practice. In luscious colors and irresistibly tactile textures, selected works mine historical archives, examine the human body, and question societal structures, eliciting responses that move between familiarity, fascination, and uncanniness. Together, these works signal a new wave of artistic inquiry and unveil the inspirations guiding this rising artistic generation.

Gallery hours: Monday–Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The exhibition is free and open to the public and presented as part of SCAD deFINE ART 2026.
