This student-organized, juried exhibition features nearly 90 artworks by over 50 juniors and seniors from USF’s Departments of Art + Architecture and Media Studies and includes a diverse array of projects including architecture, design, film, and fine art. The exhibition is organized by students from the Art History/Arts Management program. The works you see in this exhibition—their variety, strength, and exploration of social justice—reflect a multiplicity of perspectives and developing aesthetics that demonstrate curiosity as well as craft, sensitivity as well as intellect.
The 11th Thacher Annual was selected by four esteemed jurors: gallery owner Charles Hespe, Paul Madonna of the San Francisco Chronicle’s “All Over Coffee,” architect Eileen Tulmin, and Amy Gustincic, founder of Satellite Design and past president of the San Francisco chapter of AIGA, the professional association for design. In addition, the jurors selected two prizes: the Mary Thacher Prize, awarded for composition, technique and style, and the Gloria Osuna Pérez Award, awarded to work that best exemplifies the University’s social justice mission. A third prize, the Student Choice Award, was selected by the exhibition organizers from the Museum Studies I class.
