etcetera
Etcetera is a show composed of works from the Fall 2025 graduating BFA and BA Art students. From fantastical escapism and explorations of narrative to personal struggles and the political, the works in this exhibition are the culmination of each student’s time at VSU. Each student’s subject matter and medium is varied, but we are all united in our desire to share what otherwise may not have been said, filling that quiet space used to say “etcetera.”
