BFA & MFA Exhibition & Annual Fashion Show ‘BFA & MFA Exhibition,’ the annual exhibition of VCUQatar’s graduating artists and designers opened with a reception on May 4, 2014. Featuring a wide range of work that represented the culmination of the techniques and concepts developed throughout their coursework, the exhibition invited visitors to discover the departmental exhibition zones for the BFA exhibition, and graudate work in the Gallery, for the MFA exhibition. VCUQatar’s fifteenth annual fashion show, ‘Center Front,’ hosted by Salam at The Gate Mall, showcased the work of 16 graduating seniors whose eclectic thesis collections consisted of 10 day-to-evening looks featuring a range of design features that reinforced each student’s individual vision, creativity and style. “Graduation is, of course, a hugely exciting time for our students, and a culmination of their experience at VCUQatar,” said Caitlín Doherty, exhibitions and speaker curator at VCUQatar. “It is particularly exciting, therefore, that the BFA and MFA Exhibition forms part of these celebrations because it provides an opportunity, really for the first time, to bring together all of our graduating students, from across all design disciplines, and showcase their creative achievements. For most, this is the first time that they have formally exhibited, not as students, but rather as artists and designers, and so this is a wonderful opportunity for family, friends, and the general public to see their work, but also for industry representatives to see the work of emerging talent here in Qatar.”
