the 2019 Thesis and Senior Exhibition
JEWETT ART GALLERY | JEWETT SCULPTURE COURT | JEWETT HALLWAY GALLERIES | JEWETT BLACK BOX | PNW 203 | PNW 205 | PNW NEW WING
May 13 - 31, 2019
The Art Department only began making full exhibition websites in conjunction with the annual Thesis and Senior Exhibition in 2020, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Artists in the Class of 2019 wrote about their work with the expectation that that writing would be viewed alongside the actual pieces on display in May 2019 throughout the Jewett Arts Center and Pendleton West buildings, or in the physical catalog later-- they did not write with the expectation of their words being published on the internet.
We will not attempt to recreate a 2020-and-beyond-era exhibition site for earlier senior shows. Instead, below you may find representative images of least one piece of artwork for each artist in the show. If you wish to learn more about a particular project or to read more of a particular artist's statement, we encourage you to seek out their work elsewhere online, or to visit the Art Office at Wellesley to see the together/alone catalog in person.
