The School of Art’s 1st and 2nd Year MFA students present new work at SPACE Gallery through April 5, 2026.
The Pittsburgh art community gathered on the evening of February 27 to celebrate the opening of “Dream Sequence” at the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s SPACE Gallery. Marking the third year of this partnership between the Trust and Carnegie Mellon University, this year’s opening featured new work by the eleven artists of the School of Art’s MFA program. True to its title, the exhibition invites viewers into a “loose constellation of questions,” where rigorous research meets high-play — from the tactile familiarity of physical media to the boundary-pushing frontiers of artificial intelligence and virtual space.
Don’t miss the chance to experience the exhibition, on view through April 5, 2026, at SPACE Gallery.
