residual heat:  2026 FSU Student Exhibition

On display through June 13, 2026

Munroe Family Community Gallery

residual heat brings together selected work from MFA, BFA, and BA students in the Florida State University Department of Art.

The works in this exhibition explore what remains after something has happened focusing on traces: marks, materials, and memories left behind by action, experience, or process. Across painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and interdisciplinary practices, the artists consider how things change over time and what continues to endure. Their work reflects on how meaning is not fixed to a single moment but can persist, shift, and accumulate. Bringing together a cross-section of emerging artists, residual heat highlights both individual perspectives and shared questions about time, transformation, and memory. The exhibition invites viewers to consider how images, objects, and ideas continue to resonate—long after their initial moment has passed.

This exhibition is curated by award-winning artist and Professor of Painting and Drawing, Carrie Ann Baade, Audrey Lendvay, BFA, and Stephanie Rowe, MFA.
