Spring 2025 Graduating Student Exhibit
The 2025 Graduating Student Exhibition presents the work of more than 600 student graduates in 16 areas of study from the School of Art and Design. The work is the culmination of each student’s unique experience in FIT’s diverse, challenging, and demanding undergraduate art and design programs. Featuring juried, award-winning, and thesis projects, this presentation is the manifestation of several years of research, experimentation, critical thinking, and artistic proficiency. The Graduating Student Exhibition advances the college’s philosophy that integrates practice in industry with theory and teaching inside the studio.
Spacial Experience Design and Textile/Textile Design will be displayed in Art and Design Gallery;
Visit the GSE page for locations for each department's exhibit.
In addition to GSE, NYCxDESIGN Student Showcase Night will be held at FIT this year, see below for details and RSVP.
Blank Canvas
Spring 2025 Fashion Design AAS Exhibit
The Spring 2025 Fashion Design AAS Exhibition, titled "Blank Canvas," empowers students to showcase their technical expertise and artistic vision. "Blank Canvas" illuminates the intersection of craftsmanship and creativity.
The "canvas" in the title references the white material which serves as the basis for each student's journey. This shared foundation presents endless possibilities for students to push the boundaries of innovation and design. Students are free to transform their white fabric in innumerable ways from dyeing and painting to beading and embroidery.
City in Bloom:
Rediscovering Nature's Fragments
City in Bloom is a meditation on the resilience of the human experience, and the restorative
capacity of nature within urban life. From shaded tree-lined streets to verdant plants
nurtured in apartments, these moments of “urban nature” assert themselves, reminding
city dwellers that serenity, a sense of place within the infinite universe, can be
accessed—even in the most industrialized of spaces, nature’s carefully calibrated
biorhythms persist.
Bringing together works by FIT students, faculty, and invited artists, CiTY iN BLOOM
highlights sustainability and re-use, with several of the works in this exhibition
featuring repurposed materials, and either explicitly or implicitly emphasizing the
importance of protecting and appreciating nature. At the same time, the exhibition
examines whether nature is available to everyone. Or, is finding nature, belonging
in nature, an act of privilege? Where and how do we find nature when the urban landscape
surrounds us?
