About the Exhibition

The Graduate Artists’ Forum Annual Exhibition is a showcase of the School of Art & Design’ graduate student work. This year, the theme of “Amalgamation” describes the eclectic character of graduate students’ explorations and experimentations.

The Graduate Artists’ Forum (GAF) is a student-run organization. GAF seeks to improve the University’s awareness of the visual arts through exhibitions, workshops, and demonstrations, and to provide a forum for the graduate students in the School of Art and Design in which all matters concerning them may be discussed.
