The University Art Museum is pleased to announce the opening of its most recent exhibition featuring the work of the University at Albany Spring 2005 Master of Fine Arts (MFA) candidates: Amanda Ervin, Chris Oliver, Matthew Peebles, Ryan T. Parr, Colleen A. Quinn, Kenneth Ragsdale, Sergio Sericolo, Matt Tiernan, and Val Tran. The artists featured in this exhibition have just completed the University at Albany Art Department's three-year, 60 credit-hour program of intensive training and study in traditional and contemporary fine art practices. At the end of their MFA studies, candidates are required to exhibit a cohesive body of their work. This work forms the core of the MFA candidates' visual thesis and demonstrates the vigor and expertise with which these emerging artists explore their respective choice of mediums.  | | Colleen A.
