On View: June 1 - December 18, 2026

Hello, Goodbye, Hello is an exhibition of work in the Cornish Alumni Gallery by recent graduates from the Art BFA class of 2026.  This show features a wide range of mediums and approaches including painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking, and installation. Each of the 10 artists have a distinct creative voice and relationship to their materials and subjects, that together offer a complex collection of contemporary perspectives and concerns.  Issues of identity, sensuality, surveillance, racism and environmental sustainability are explored with an invested interest in the subject matter and a dedicated application of craft.  

Throughout these artists' time at Cornish, the community here has gotten to know them as students, scholars, and now, colleagues within the wider association of artists in Seattle. As they move on from the College and University, we get to be reintroduced to the artists and people they have become after their commitment to their academic studies and investment in their creative futures. 

Featured Artists: Webb Akamine-Rogers, Matthes Boyd, Kyla Crockett, Christy Gibson, Kaila Macaluso, Madeline McKinney, Sean Minchak, Cloe Caroljane Short, Selena Tacazon, and Seher Taj 

Our work is supported, in part, by an award from 4Culture
