The key role of culture is the shaping of values and attitudes of people. Culture is also seen as a moderating factor in the conduct of people, their relationships with others, their disposition to life and their perception of issues and stereotypes. Collective kəlCHər examines why people act as they do based on the influences of their social and cultural group memberships.  The Master of Fine Arts Thesis exhibition explores these concepts  through the ceramic work of Ashan Pridgon, printmaking by Caren Stansell and paintings by Dustin Massey.

This exhibit showcases a culmination of research in which students go through a series of critiques during their time as a Master of Fine Arts candidate, helping build a body of work of the students’ choosing. The public is invited to join the conversation by attending the artist talks, followed by a reception. All events are free and will be hosted in the Lee Gallery.
