Slingshot: 2024 MFA in Visual Art Thesis Exhibition features thesis projects by the Master of Fine Arts in Visual Art candidates in the 2024 graduating class of the Graduate School of Art in Washington University’s Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts.

The exhibition title holds a variety of associations for the candidates, including references to childhood and play, gravity, movement, tension, and release. The artists explore such themes as the body, identity, the built environment, and technology through a range of aesthetic practices and mediums that include collage, drawing, painting, sculpture, and photography.

The exhibition is organized by Leslie Markle, curator for public art at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum.
