Intro
Seven new stories emerges, tied by a sensibility, a shared attention to what lingers. Each artist drifts through one or more of the following, fragmented histories, unstable landscapes, spiritual yearning, or infrastructural ruin. Their practices trace the flow of signs, bodies, and objects caught between worlds—whether cast-off then reassembled, or buried then unearthed.
For 2025’s Art Studio Grad Thesis, DART Magazine set the camera right in our home: Davis.
The M.F.A. in the Maria Manetti Shrem Art Studio at UCD is a two-year graduate program. This April and May, DART Magazine studio-visited this year’s seven graduating MFA candidates and recorded the Behind-the-Scenes of their thesis artwork into a booklet.
Booklet available at the Arts & Humanities 2025 Graduate Exhibition opening on June 5 in the lobby at Manetti Shrem Museum, and throughout the show, June 5 to June 22. Also available after the show at Pence Gallery in downtown Davis.
