The LeRoy E. Hoffberger School of Painting MFA Thesis Exhibition
April 6, 2025 - May 18, 2025

This is the final thesis exhibition of the 2025 graduates of the Leroy E. Hoffberger School of Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Each year, MICA’s second-year MFA students present an exhibition showcasing their thesis work. This spring, the 2025 MFA graduating class presents their thesis exhibition at the Peale Museum, the first purpose-built museum in the United States.
The LeRoy E. Hoffberger School of Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art is unique among top MFA programs in the country in its intense focus on painting, as distinct from the cross-disciplinary programs that dominate the field. The Hoffberger School is known for its high level of intellectual discourse, diverse visiting artist roster, and communal yet rigorous critical environment.
