New Masters Academy

Final Portfolio Exhibition

Foundations Program, Class of 2026

This exhibition represents the culmination of two years of dedicated work by the New Masters Academy Foundations Program Class of 2026. Alongside NMA's intensive curriculum and live instructor feedback, each student developed a portfolio of 5 to 10 original works while advancing through the Drawing Fundamentals curriculum. Students scheduled dedicated studio time each week for research, concept development, skill-building, and the creation of personally meaningful work. The portfolios presented here reflect their individual interests, artistic growth, and commitment to developing a lasting studio practice.
