NAP MFA Annual (#99) Sneak Peek

The New American Paintings, MFA Annual, Issue #99, is now hitting newsstands across the US. It is expected to ship to subscribers in the next 1 to 2 weeks, so keep an eye out. The juror for the MFA Annual was Alma Ruiz, Senior Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA.

The MFA Annual is one of our most highly anticipated issues. It contains artists that have recently completed their Masters of Fine Arts studies within the last year, or are current MFA candidates. Over 100 art schools from all over the country were represented in this competition. We think Ms. Ruiz nicely sums up our excitement for this particular publication by stating in her essay that, "Although the work and its synonyms –"hazard," "jeopardy," and "peril" – seem to connote something negative, I prefer to think of it in terms of opportunity or chance. Why shouldn't an art student be willing to take risks in graduate school? It is the ideal place for exploring seemingly endless possibilities..." -- View a list of all featured artists and schools, and see a few more sneak peeks pictures after the jump!
