The last day of school signals the beginning of the summer exhibition season for area art school grads, many of whom are putting their work in front of the public for the first time. For a more curated showcase, check out Conner Contemporary's annual "Academy" showcase, which rounds up the best of the MFA and BFA classes of 2012 from across the Baltimore-Washington region.

Our Review


By Michael O’Sullivan
Friday, July 6, 2012

Close observers of the scene might recognize a name or two. “Academy 2012” features work by Samuel Scharf, who also was in last year’s “Academy.” Selin Balci popped up recently at Hamiltonian Gallery and Ben Tolman has been exhibiting around town for several years. Others, like photographer Aaron Canipe, will be familiar only to folks who made it to his thesis exhibition at the Corcoran College of Art and Design.

Beating the bushes is a tough job. Thankfully, Jamie Smith -- who once again brings her keen curatorial eye to the show -- is there to do it for us.
