The California College of the Arts MFA Class of 2027 is proud to present two exhibitions at Minnesota Street Project, on view from April 8 - May 9 2026. This dual takeover activates both the SF Arts Education Project and MSP upstairs Gallery 209. SF Arts Education will present a large group exhibition entitled The Last First Show from April 29 – May 9, 2026, showcasing work by the entire MFA 2027 cohort, with an opening reception on May 2, 2026, from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM. Gallery #209 will host weekly rotating exhibitions entitled Grad Lab from April 8 – May 2, 2026, featuring larger-scale installations by members of the cohort. This rotating format offers fresh configurations and new encounters throughout the run of both exhibitions. Together, these exhibitions showcase the final cohort of the California College of the Arts, bringing together a dynamic group of emerging artists whose work spans a wide range of perspectives, practices, and disciplines, offering a unique opportunity to engage with the next generation of creative voices at a pivotal moment in their artistic journeys.
