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

Each event features student presentations, art professionals' responses, and discussion time. 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.
