On Commencement day, we invite you to view the Thesis work of PNCA's graduating MFA and BFA students, on view throughout the galleries of PNCA's 511 Building, Building 5 and Stelo Arts. The galleries will be open from 2-4 p.m., and maps will be available at PNCA's front desk to help navigate. Additionally there will be a shuttle bus on a loop, leaving from PNCA’s 511 building parking lot to the satellite MFA gallery locations from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m.
The Art Walk will be followed by the Commencement Ceremony at the Tiffany Center at 5:30 p.m. and a reception for graduates and their loved ones at PNCA's 511 Building from 7–8:30 p.m. We can't wait to share this wonderful experience with you and celebrate the achievements of our graduates. We look forward to seeing you there!
