Current SAIC graduate students Stephen D’Onofrio (BFA 2013, MFA 2017) and Orkideh Torabi (Post-Bac, 2014, MFA 2016) have been accepted to participate in the National Wet Paint MFA Biennial, taking place at the Zhou B Art Center from January 15–February 13, 2016. Also chosen to participate is SAIC alum Yael Ben-Simon (MFA 2015).
The exhibition is an outlook and an overview of top MFA painting programs in the United States, open to current and recent MFA recipients working primarily in painting. Now in its fourth edition, Wet Paint 2016 brings together more than 300 talented emerging artists for this exciting exhibition, fully funded by Zhou B Art Center, juried by the Zhou B Art Center’s selection team and curated by Sergio Gomez.
In celebration of alum Georgia O’Keeffe: My New Yorks opening current SAIC students were invited to submit artworks inspired by O’keeffe and the city of Chicago.
