Thinking through Making: NCMA College Exhibition

Overview

What goes into making a work of art that the artist considers “finished”? This exhibition explores the work that goes into the artist’s process, from conceptualization through completion.By highlighting the act of making art over the presentation of a finished product, we invite visitors to observe the creative process as students grapple with obstacles and opportunities and work their way through making their ideas into something tangible for the viewer.
