MCAD showcases student art from the year of coronavirus

As COVID restrictions loosen and life starts returning to normal — albeit still filled with hand sanitizer and masks — artists are reflecting on the year that wasn't.
The Minneapolis College of Art and Design facilitates that reflection through three exhibitions featuring work primarily by current students or alumni. Sprawled across three flexible spaces, these shows remind us of the times we are in while also offering something to contemplate other than lockdown life.
"2021 Made at MCAD" features work by 41 BFA and MFA students over the past year.
Tamar Patterson, 24, a senior in entrepreneurial studies, created a series of black-and-white archival inkjet prints titled "My Mother's Daughter," for which she posed with her mother at her family's house in Burnsville.
