The 2026 Graduating Student Exhibition brings together the work of more than 600 graduating students across 16 areas of study in the School of Art and Design. Spanning disciplines, perspectives, and practices, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the energy and range of this year’s graduating class.
The photographs below capture just a portion of the work on view—projects shaped through years of research, experimentation, technical development, and creative exploration within FIT’s rigorous undergraduate programs. From juried and award-winning pieces to thesis work and personal investigations, the exhibition reflects the individuality of each student’s experience and invites viewers into the ideas, processes, and conversations behind the work.
The Graduating Student Exhibition is on display through May 24 on the FIT campus, and a selection of works from the show will be on display this summer.
