It’s that time of year again. That’s right, BFA thesis shows! A slew of Bachelors of Fine Arts majors of all concentrations show their thesis works for a week each. First up is Elizabeth Harney, 24, BFA Painting/Drawing major from Toms River.

Harney is exhibiting paintings and an amazingly large print in her show The Difference is Distance. Her opening reception is on March 4 from 4-7:30 p.m. at the Visual Arts Gallery at New Jersey City University, showing from March 4 to March 7.

Harney’s work highlights her artistic processes as a way to examine representations of power in America, especially the correlation between power symbols and distance. Want to know more? Go see it.

I guess that means it’s time to free up your Monday nights for the rest of the semester! Harney’s is the first of weekly opening receptions in the VAB gallery happening until the end of the semester. That’s right; you can no longer say “there’s nothing to do on campus.”

Look out for upcoming issues of The Gothic Times. The full roster of art students showing their thesis works this semester is coming soon!
