I don't know how, but I'm taller: 2023 Bachelor of Fine Arts Graduation Show

April 18 – April 29, 2023

FAB Gallery
Both Floors

Evening Reception:

Friday, April 21 2023, 7:00 – 9:00pm

Featuring the works of the 2023 class of Bachelor of Fine Art: Art & Design students, I don't know how, but I'm taller celebrates time, growth, and reflection.

Everything is growing in our garden.

This exhibition features work by 18 artists who have dedicated their time at the University of Alberta to create unapologetically and grow into themselves. This exhibition shows our best and tallest, but it took a lot of watering to get here. Those who began as students, are now leaving as artists. An evolution that feels so natural it often isn't recognized during the process. Join us as we commemorate our growth, glance back at our flowers, and look forward to new sprouts. We don't know how... but we're taller.

Exhibiting Students:

Amanda Komarniski, Amy Quach, Bail, Bailey Lohmann, Cynthia Schroter, Eli Young, Erik Johnson, Hailey Petty, Hannah Nobert, Ilsa Ahmad, Kangmin Kim, Lisa Bourque, Maddison Post, Maria Shironoshita, Nicole Wrishko, Nilmani Seneviratne, Rikki Abesamis, Thea Lao-an

    Reflections from an artist: how to develop your own personal style

    Your artistic style isn't a final destination — it’s the result of every messy experiment and canvas along the way. MFA student Samantha McLeish explores why trial, error and a little bit of grace are the true keys to a signature style.
