Don't miss out!"
— Paula Wallace | SCAD President and Founder
This year's cohort is representative of the global artistic community, drawing from cultures across geographies including Iceland, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, the U.K., and the U.S. Los Angeles-based textile artist Diedrick Brackens (b. 1989, Mexia, Texas) brings his cosmic woven tapestries into intimate dialogue with the American South, proposing conversations across the centuries on the transformative potential of art. In her longest installation to date, New York-based artist Sarah Crowner (b. 1974, Philadelphia) forms a vast, dynamic ground of custom-made terracotta tiles, welcoming viewers to stand on, walk across, or even dance around the light-refracting composition in a generous invitation to reconsider how we see the world.
In his debut solo museum exhibition, New York-based artist Raul De Lara (b. 1991, Sinaloa, Mexico) retraces his Mexican roots following a recent return to his childhood home after nearly 20 years in the U.S., combining forms from nature, modern design, and Mexican and American material culture to examine notions of nationality and identity. Creating an immersive, atmospheric environment, interdisciplinary artist and Sigur Rós lead vocalist Jónsi (b. 1975, Reykjavik, Iceland) centers the most universal and original musical instrument — the human voice — offering a visceral encounter in which to ponder our innate form of communication.
Los Angeles-based artist Ken Gun Min (b. 1976, Seoul, South Korea) infuses his experiences as a queer Korean immigrant to the U.S. into large-scale mixed-media paintings of sublime scenes where utopian idealism collides with dystopian realities. An esteemed visual activist and artist known for their work engaging issues of gender identity, representation, and race, Zanele Muholi (b. 1972, Umlazi, South Africa) documents and celebrates their LGBTQIA+ community through the mediums of photography, film, and sculpture.
Pairing newly gifted works by Vera Neumann (b. 1907, Stamford, Conn.; d. 1993, North Tarrytown, N.Y.) with a collection of silk scarves produced by New York-based artist textiles company Massif Central, the group exhibition Vera & Friends extends her groundbreaking approach to democratizing art through joy, creativity, and innovation. Exploring the foundational importance of drawing to her artistic practice, Los Angeles-based artist Christina Quarles (b. 1985, Chicago) foregrounds works on paper in ink and acrylic that interrogate the formal elements of the body, informing her deft ability to manipulate form and space.
Best known for founding the menswear fashion label A-COLD-WALL* and the industrial design studio SR_A SR_A, British Caribbean artist and designer Samuel Ross (b. 1991, London) offers insight into his multifaceted creative process, presenting abstract paintings and sculptural works that exemplify his insatiable curiosity for expanding the limits of material. Based in the Adirondacks in upstate New York, William Glaser Wilson (b. 1994, Yonkers, N.Y.) debuts new and recent paintings that merge the distinctive realms of his daily life and studio practice, loading ritual and reverential iconography into works that serve as acts of devotion to the messiness and beauty of everyday life.
"We're thrilled to bring together such an incredible group of contemporary artists to showcase their compelling work at the SCAD Museum of Art. With each exhibition reflecting the artist's singular perspective across a variety of mediums, the range of artworks on view will be sure to inspire all. We are excited to welcome SCAD deFINE ART 2025 honoree Zanele Muholi, and we look forward to the insights and beauty shared by each of these brilliant artists who have thoughtfully contributed so much to the season ahead."

Featured exhibitions
William Glaser Wilson
Spirit Sanctuary | Dec. 6, 2024–March 10, 2025
William Glaser Wilson (b. 1994, Yonkers, N.Y.) creates deeply personal paintings that respond to his individual experiences and adapt to the conditions of his immediate environment. Originally trained as a photographer, he investigates the power of images to capture a moment, using both representation and abstraction within paintings that serve as impressionistic records. Merging the distinctive realms of his daily life and studio practice, Wilson imbues his works with significant subjective meaning while engaging with collective themes of the passage of time, family, and memory.
Wilson developed his most recent paintings after moving to a remote locale in a once-thriving mining community in upstate New York, where he based his studio in an abandoned church. As the title of the exhibition suggests, Spirit Sanctuary is directly influenced by this space. In new works executed on a vertical format mimicking the proportions of the stained-glass windows that provide the studio's only source of light, Wilson embraces the picturesque natural environment and scarcity of commercial supply in his community as an opportunity for the expansion of visual possibilities rather than restriction. The artist incorporates found materials like flowers and liturgical linens in his highly expressive paintings, loading ritual and reverential iconography into works that serve as acts of devotion to the messiness and beauty of everyday life.
Raul De Lara
Raíces/Roots | Jan. 15–July 6, 2025
New York-based Mexican artist Raul De Lara (b. 1991, Sinaloa, Mexico) carves uncanny, playful wooden sculptures imbued with personal and culturally significant stories to celebrate and foster a deeper understanding of the immigrant experience. Through traditional and innovative woodworking techniques, De Lara combines forms from nature, furniture design, and Mexican and American material culture to examine notions of nationality and identity. Championing a practice of "storytelling through woodworking," De Lara weaves magical realism and symbolic items, like zompantle wood and Tz'ite beans, into his works to convey memories of his upbringing, Mesoamerican legends and rituals, and even paranormal encounters.
In his debut solo museum exhibition Raíces/Roots, De Lara presents works that retrace his Mexican roots following a recent return to his childhood home after nearly 20 years in the U.S. — a long-awaited visit complicated by his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status. Across the SCAD Museum of Art's Jewel Box vitrines, De Lara arranges tufted wooden chairs and construction cranes that honor his family's history of craftsmanship, alongside modular, kinetic sculptures of cacti and monstera plants that embody his transnational, peregrine journey. Comparatively, the artist's rocking chairs and slouching fieldwork tools evoke the precarity, manual labor, and disappointments faced by undocumented immigrants pursuing the "American Dream." In sharing these cherished and whimsical yet difficult and often inexplicable life moments, De Lara offers insight into his story, while inspiring curiosity and connection with each other and the objects that surround us.
Samuel Ross
HEAVE | Jan. 24–July 6, 2025
British Caribbean artist and designer Samuel Ross (b. 1991, London) creates works in a range of media through an exploratory analysis of raw material and functionality. In 2015, Ross founded the fashion label A-COLD-WALL*, rethinking streetwear through meticulous construction and bold, Brutalist silhouettes. In 2019, he established SR_A SR_A, an atelier that engineers experiences for the body and mind, balancing a utilitarian sensibility with an eye toward the future. The artist's industrial aesthetic has manifested both in his own work and in collaborations with major brands including LVMH, Nike, and Apple.
In HEAVE, Ross presents several distinct but connected bodies of work, anchored by two of his rarely shown abstract paintings. Sculptural seating exemplifies the artist's insatiable curiosity for the potential and limits of material, exploring the intersections of Eurocentric Modernist forms and West African furniture design. Four hand-painted utility jackets showcase the overlapping of Ross' intuitive mark-making and functional forms, while gestural process sketches representing each of the disciplines presented in the exhibition offer viewers further insight into his multifaceted creative process.
Ken Gun Min
The vastness is bearable only through love | Jan. 29–June 22, 2025
Epic in their explosive color yet confined within painted frames, the large-scale mixed-media paintings of Ken Gun Min (b. 1976, Seoul, South Korea) capture the paradoxes of our beautifully complex world, where utopian idealism collides with dystopian realities. Through lush landscapes and tender portraits, Min orchestrates sublime scenes — both real and imagined — that draw from his experiences as a queer Korean immigrant in the U.S. Focusing on the emotion of his parafictional stories, Min showcases the moment of beauty before destruction, stirring feelings of uneasiness and awe. Ultimately, his works highlight the importance of seeing life in its entirety and remind viewers to offer gentleness to all journeying through this vast existence.
On raw canvases treated with gesso and Japanese bookbinding glue, Min applies a unique cross-cultural blend of materials, such as Western oils, Korean pigments, and hand-embroidered beads, that address his transition from South Korea to the U.S. and challenge the boundaries of painting and craft. These textural compositions, inspired by historical European paintings and East Asian textiles, evoke Min's "queer utopia," underpinned by the repressed histories and urban legends of Los Angeles. Depictions of animals such as lions, peacocks, and moths, adorned with gems and facing their demise, serve as allegories for the gentrification of local queer Asian hubs and as anthropomorphic symbols of "cruisers" or gay sex workers, whose lives are often at risk in their profession. While Min's portrayals of male figures wading in water also allude to the tragic homophobic murders and disappearances of transgender people at a nearby lake, his centering of intimate, muscular men of color brings visibility to queer communities and offers new conceptions of masculinity, sexuality, and race.
Vera & Friends: Artist Scarves by Vera Neumann and Massif Central
Group exhibition | Jan. 15–June 8, 2025
The SCAD Museum of Art celebrates pioneering figure of American design and brand development Vera Neumann (b. 1907, Stamford, Conn.; d. 1993, North Tarrytown, N.Y.) with an exhibition of her drawings, watercolors, silkscreened production prints, and scarves generously gifted to the museum by The Vera Neumann Artwork Trust. Neumann is perhaps best known for her eponymous line of Vera scarves that have been worn by fashionistas, first ladies, and movie stars alike. Identifying as an "artist who paints things for people rather than for walls," Neumann defined the aesthetics of the mid-20th century with her complex patterns, abstract forms, and vibrant colors. The exhibition situates Neumann's work in dialogue with a collection of silk scarves produced by New York-based artist textiles company Massif Central and designed in collaboration with some of the most important visual artists working today. This pairing accentuates the legacy and continued relevance of Neumann's groundbreaking approach to democratizing art through joy, creativity, and innovation.
Sarah Crowner
Platform as Platform | Jan. 31–June 9, 2025
Sarah Crowner's (b. 1974, Philadelphia) Platform as Platform is an impressive artwork and a generous invitation. For this new exhibition, the artist has created her longest installation to date, a site-specific structure that stretches a span of more than 200 feet. Fabricated from custom-made terracotta tiles created in Guadalajara, Mexico, the floor-based work echoes the accumulative repetition of the building's historic brick masonry, while the tiles' colorful, glossy glaze and wavy design form a vast, dynamic ground that seems to extend into the horizon.
Crowner welcomes viewers to stand on, walk across, or even dance around the light-refracting composition, encouraging an experience that shifts our relationship to painting. Crowner's work also functions as a foundation for a group of stretched drop cloths sourced from the SCAD fibers department's screen-printing lab, displaying the accumulated layers from years of use by students and faculty. These collaborative canvases transform a potentially overlooked surface into something laden with meaning and aesthetic merit, evoking the reframed viewpoint that her installation offers. An inclusive, expansive gesture, Platform as Platform enjoins us to reconsider how we see the world.
Jónsi
Vox | Jan. 31–June 22, 2025
Inspired by his love of nature, artist and musician Jónsi (b. 1975, Reykjavik, Iceland) creates sculptures and installations that not only explore the ways in which people experience sound but also encourage new ways of listening. As the lead singer of the experimental post-rock band Sigur Rós and the "nose" for his family's perfumerie Fischersund, Jónsi incorporates his own distinctive voice as well as custom fragrances into his artworks to incite wonder and evoke the feeling of being transported to another place and time.
With Vox, Jónsi presents an immersive environment that centers the most universal and original musical instrument — the human voice. The installation translates Jónsi's otherworldly falsetto into light frequencies, triggering LED panels throughout the gallery that surround viewers as they are enveloped in a grounding scent. Through a complex choreography of senses, Vox offers an atmospheric, visceral encounter that reconnects body and mind with the world around us, while also providing a spiritual respite from everyday life to ponder the power of our innate form of communication.
SCAD deFINE ART 2025 Painting and Photography Showcase
Group exhibition | Feb. 7–March 16, 2025
Exemplifying the superlative talents in SCAD's top-ranked degree programs, nominated graduate students demonstrate their profound perspectives in the annual Painting and Photography Showcase, presented as part of SCAD deFINE ART 2025. Juried by SCAD Museum of Art curators, the exhibition reflects the diverse, evolving practices and current preoccupations of emerging artists, offering a glimpse into themes and imagery that may take shape in the future. Select works express a longing gaze, portraying nostalgic scenes from childhood or once-cherished places, while others turn their attention to moments yet to come, investigating — and even integrating — technological approaches to the creative process. The exhibition explores a new wave of artistic inquiry while pinpointing critical areas of inspiration for this rising generation.
Christina Quarles
Far from Near | Feb. 14–July 6, 2025
Exploring the foundational importance of drawing to Christina Quarles' (b. 1985, Chicago) artistic practice, Far from Near focuses on works on paper in ink and acrylic that inform her distinctive approach to representing identity and the human body. Quarles' early "100 Series" drawings marked a pivotal juncture in her career, helping to define her creative vision and voice as an artist. A formative group of works in their own right, these drawings interrogate the formal elements of the body and the "illusory boundaries that demarcate the self," while also incorporating text to reference evocative lyrics, phrases, and overheard conversations. These and other rarely seen works on paper feature expressive, almost effortless gestural lines and skillful handling of various mediums, showcasing Quarles' deft ability to manipulate figures and space — further solidifying her place as one of the most important artists of our time.
Zanele Muholi
Zanele Muholi | Feb. 24–July 6, 2025
SCAD deFINE ART honoree Zanele Muholi (b. 1972, Umlazi, South Africa) is an esteemed visual activist and artist known for their work exploring issues of gender identity, representation, and race. For two decades, Muholi has used the mediums of photography, film, and sculpture to document and celebrate the lives of Black queer people in South Africa and beyond. The artist challenges gender stereotypes, honors lived experiences, and emphasizes the need for visibility, recognition, and respect for their LGBTQIA+ community.
This exhibition includes several images from the acclaimed and ongoing body of work Somnyama Ngonyama (Hail the Dark Lioness), a series of self-portraits that casts Muholi as the central figure in stark black-and-white images. In these staged, confrontational portraits, the artist dons ordinary items including clothespins, rugs, and plastic bags, transforming them into powerful symbols of everyday personal and political commentary.
The exhibition also includes selections from the series Brave Beauties, which turns the camera on trans women and nonbinary people, depicting them in bold, empowered poses, and Faces and Phases, a living archive of portraits of Black lesbians, gender-nonconforming individuals, and trans men that began in response to the violence and discrimination faced by this community in South Africa. A never-before-seen selection of portraits continues the artist's Somnyama Ngonyama series in lightbox format, heightening the dramatic contrast of light and shadow. Through these works, Muholi reenvisions Black queer representation and challenges pervasive stereotypes, offering an empathetic and emboldened presentation of the human experience.
Diedrick Brackens
the shape of survival | Feb. 24–July 7, 2025
Diedrick Brackens (b. 1989, Mexia, Texas) creates woven tapestries that blend a cosmic array of allegories, historical narratives, and autobiographical memories into compelling forms. In the shape of survival, Brackens brings his work into intimate dialogue with the American South, drawing on the region's history of quilting and influences from myriad historic artists, most notably Aaron Douglas. Brackens' use of hand-dyed cotton acknowledges the weighty legacy of this material, honoring its past while transmuting it into lyrical, awe-inspiring artworks.
The exhibition takes on additional resonance in the museum's Walter and Linda Evans Center for African American Studies gallery within a structure that originally served as a Central of Georgia Railway depot where cotton and other commodities produced by enslaved Black labor were transported and stored. The poetic and often ecstatic gestures of Brackens' figures offer a sense of joy and revelry, expressing a powerful engagement with the richness of both African American cultural inheritance and queer identity. Together, these works propose conversations across the centuries on the power of art and its potential for transformation and growth.
