The University Art Gallery at Cal Poly Presents 127 Twenty-Four Seven, the 2026 BFA Studio Art Exhibition

San Luis Obispo, CA — The University Art Gallery at Cal Poly presents 127 Twenty-Four Seven, the BFA Studio Art Exhibition 2026, featuring works by graduating students from the Cal Poly Department of Art & Design. The exhibition will be on view May 8 through May 14 at Dexter Art Gallery.

A combination of surrealism, stillness, theatricality, and bold visceral art form the basis of this year’s Studio Art BFA show: 127 Twenty-Four Seven. Each artist will present an original body of work representing their exploration of strange internal and external worlds. Through paintings and sculptures, the exhibition presents innovative ideas and processes that embrace the mundane, encompassing both the comfort and uncanniness of everyday life.

The exhibition features work by Maya Benham, Claire Chaussee, Hallie Ellis, Abigail Gan, Sarai Hernández-Barajas, Owen Isachsen, Savannah Knight, Alexa Lopez, Liliana Monge, Cailin Nicolich, Olivia Pye, Tilman Stoppler, Sarah Tarquin, and Lillie Turinsky.

An opening reception will be held Friday, May 8, from 5 to 7 p.m. at Dexter Art Gallery. The exhibition will be open Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
