The inspiration for this exhibit is the fine and prophetic work being produced in the graduate programs at several Northern California schools and JAYJAY’s desire to share their triumphs with the community at large. These artists are current and recent MFA and MA recipients of studio art programs from University of California, Davis, California State University, Sacramento, University of Nevada, Reno, producing work in various mediums including sculpture, painting, photography, and printmaking.

This exhibition promises to offer a glimpse into future “trends” through the scholarly exploration of these emerging artists.

-Bailey Anderson (University of California, Davis)
-Mahedi Anjuman (University of Nevada, Reno)
