Exhibition

SVA presents “Wavelengths,” an exhibition featuring the work of 15 artists, on view this fall at its SVA Chelsea Gallery, 601 West 26th Street, 15th floor. On view from September 2 through December 6, “Wavelengths” is a juried survey of recent alumni work across the College, graduating between 2010 and 2020, as selected by a panel of renowned alumni practitioners in their respective fields.
