Traditionally, each year’s GLAMFA exhibition takes on a specific theme. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting stay-at-home orders, in 2021 we showcased the work MFA students made in confinement. For the first time, we invited students from the entire state of California to participate in this year’s iteration exhibition. This year’s goal was to showcase responding to the pressing issues we were (and are still) confronting, such as civil unrest, economic crisis, intense political climate towards the presidential election, devastating fires, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
