Columbia University's Visual Arts & Sound Art Summer Show Aesthetically Functional Only is up now. The show runs from July 24 to August 10 with a Closing Reception on Saturday, August 10 from 5 to 9 pm ET. The Summer Show is a yearly off-campus exhibition by students at Columbia’s MFA program and includes work by both first and second-year students. Each year the Summer Show is initiated and created by students in the MFA Visual Arts Program. The aim of this process is to provide an opportunity for students to work together organizing a group exhibition in New York as a collaborative career development exercise.

The 2019 MFA Summer Show, Aesthetically Functional Only, is curated by Edsel Williams. Williams curates private and public art collections and owns and directs The Fireplace Project in East Hampton NY, where he presents 3-5 exhibitions per year. The students and curator are deeply grateful for the support and generous contributions of Beth Rudin DeWoody, The Rudin Family, Dayna and Steve Novenstein, and UOVO. Without their support, the MFA program would not be able to produce this exhibition.
