Description
In June 2026, graduate students in the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program completed an intensive, one-week field research residency in Italy. Enrolled in ART 747 with Kristen Keach, Ph.D., students engaged in an advanced research-creation framework designed to transform classical art history into active, embodied studio knowledge.
Rather than acting as passive viewers, these MFA candidates utilized various Italian cities as active laboratories. Armed with daily field journals, students paired rigorous deep looking and analytical sketching with site-specific, graduate-caliber oral presentations on the materiality, patronage, and contemporary relevance of Renaissance and Medieval masterworks.
The exhibition, titled Passeggiata, features work by Alina Lindquist, Lyrissa Nicole, Erika Peterson, Patricia Suslo, Reese Wallace, and Justin Webb.
Passeggiata is on view October 2–23 at Grant Hall Gallery. Viewing is by appointment only; visitors should book ahead by contacting Alina Lindquist at alina.lindquist@unlv.edu.
The reception, held Friday, October 23, from 5 to 9 p.m., is part of the UNLV Art Walk. Admission is free.
