California College of Arts : 2013 MFA Thesis Exhibition.
Comment by AB: Always an adventure to explore the MFA graduate action-- from piles and leaners to some admirably impressively innovative endeavors, and in a multitude of media. From odd to accomplished, you'll find it all here. Wanna help with names of the artist graduates? Assistance would be greatly appreciated. Please email me at alanb@artbusiness.com . And now for the recap...

San Francisco Art Institute : Currency - MFA Thesis Exhibition.
Comment by AB: The Old Mint at Fifth and Mission is the perfect venue for this year's MFA graduate exhibition. Spacious hallways to handle the throngs, all kinds of rooms conducive to exhibiting all kinds of art-- especially in the dungeon-like basement-- and plenty of engaging work to be experienced. Again, assistance with artist's names would be greatly appreciated. Please email me at alanb@artbusiness.com . And now for the show...
