Washington University MFA students are pleased to announce our Fall 2008 Open Studios and Art Sale, featuring work by more than 40 innovative young artists working in painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, combined media, installation and video.
From 4-9 our studios will be open to the public and artists will be present to answer questions and interact with visitors. This event presents a unique opportunity to experience the work of emerging artists outside the traditional gallery setting. The event will be accompanied by an art sale from 4-9:00 pm.
The art sale will take place on the third ï¬oor of the MFA Building and will feature original works by MFA students. Payments may be made in cash, or by check with ID only. Proceeds will beneï¬t the Washington MFA Student Organization and will be put towards the growth and development of the MFA program as well as to the individual artist.
The Graduate Program has been ï¬ourishing at Washington University. Housed in the distinctive Lewis Center in the heart of University City, MFA students and faculty interact in a collaborative, organic setting, creating a program that is always evolving and pushing the boundaries of contemporary artistic practice. Please join us for this unique event.

This is the worst Open Studio event I have ever attended. I thought since the artists were affiliated with Wash U that I would see some very high quality art to bid on. 1. The open studio venue looked like someone's basement, it was ugly and disorganized. No artists were on hand to explain the few art pieces that I did see. Otherwise, it was a lot of empty space with very low quality art. I left thinking that this was maybe a project funded by grant money. Money that had been obviously wasted.
