The 2025 BFA Thesis Show is a celebration of
the interwoven efforts of Boston University’s class
of 2025 Painting, Sculpture, and Graphic Design students. Through years of cultivating artistic identities, technical forte, and our community, these SVA students have shaped a body of work that reflects their unique authorship and boundless potential.
The 2025 BFA Thesis Show marks a pivotal moment
in their cyclical journey and honors all they have built while embracing the uncertainties and possibilities ahead. The show is a testament to their dedication
and grit, the product of collective efforts, and their continuous evolution and growth. The abundance of the SVA experience is demonstrated in this show as they walk into a new chapter of their careers, more confident and determined than they ever were.
