I look forward to thesis shows by Wichita State undergraduate and graduate students every year. They are often my first introduction to artists and designers who will go on to work in Wichita — and beyond — for years to come.

This year, 39 Bachelor of Fine Arts students in graphic design and studio art present their work in a single show, which is on view at WSU ShiftSpace and Harvester Arts in The Lux, 120 E. 1st St., through May 29. The gallery is free and open to the public from 3-9 p.m. Mondays, 3-6 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays. Many works in the exhibition are available for sale.

You can learn more about the soon-to-graduate artists and designers on the "Vox Nostra" Instagram page.
