Rhode Island School of Design’s annual graduate thesis exhibition is set to showcase the creativity of RISD alumni from 19 advanced degree programs. The digital publication and in-person display at the Rhode Island Convention Center from May 21 will offer a glimpse into the future through intricate sketches, experimental installations, and refined final pieces.
The exhibition spans across Architecture, Ceramics, Design Engineering, Digital + Media, Furniture Design, Glass, Global Arts and Cultures, Graphic Design, Illustration, Industrial Design, Interior Architecture, Jewelry + Metalsmithing, Landscape Architecture, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture, Teaching + Learning in Art + Design, and Textiles. From 12 to 5pm daily (with extended hours on the day of RISD Commencement), students will invite you into their worlds.
Each piece is a testament to three years of relentless research, experimentation and critical thinking. The unique layout of custom-built galleries will enable visitors to explore the diverse thesis work in an immersive environment designed for artistic discovery. It’s a celebration of the blend of global perspectives with local innovation that drives RISD.
As SUNI notes, it's not just about looking at art; it’s about understanding how creativity can shape our future. Visit RISD for more information and to experience the exhibition first-hand.
