BLIND SPOT - Phillips Exeter Academy

BLIND SPOT: Navigating an Uncertain Future
Advanced Student Art Show
May 1 – June 7*, 2026

Reception: Tuesday, June 2, 3:30-4:30

Investigation, research, risk-taking and drive; Blind Spot: Navigating an Uncertain Future showcases the creative outcomes from a period of highly focused artmaking by Exeter students. The students in ART500: Portfolio Intensive, ART690: Capstone Intensive Studio, and Art999: Art Field Course, engage in an in-depth exploration of art materials and themes while developing their own body of work. Through experimentation, critique, research, self-direction, and many hours in the art studio, these students have explored themes important to them and created the comprehensive works that are part of this exhibition.

Lamont Gallery is closed for installation and reopening on May 1, 2026
