BFA Senior Thesis Conversations are live virtual events where graduating students from CCA's Textiles, Photography, Individualized Studies, Jewelry and Metal Arts, Ceramics, and Painting and Drawing programs publicly share their capstone work.

Each event features student presentations, responses from art professionals, and time for discussion. Through this online presentation we celebrate each student’s dedication to art-making during their time at CCA, and provide a way for family, friends, and the general public to connect with and celebrate student work. Events will be recorded and posted afterward, to allow for greater access.

With respondents: Leila Weefur, an artist, writer, educator, and curator based in Oakland, and Kevin Chen, artist, independent curator, and educator at San Francisco State University and Mills College.
