The Master of Fine Arts 2008 Community Celebration is just around the corner. FYI: Friday, May 23 at 7pm, everyone is invited, be there or be square. 19 students + ceramics, fibers, metals, painting, drawing, photography, and sculpture = 45 pieces that represent the culmination of each artist’s creative process over the course of their degree. In anticipation of the opening this Saturday, today and throughout the exhibition, hankblog is spotlighting different artists with images of their artworks, beginning with Alicia Basinger:

Basinger had her first solo museum at the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland as a Wendy L. Moore Emerging Artist Series recipient in 2005. She has a BFA in ceramics with a minor in glass. She has four pieces in MFA 2008, pictured below is Ripe. 2008. Balloons, acrylic, and water. Courtesy of the artist.
