"The faculty of the School of Visual Arts & Design in the College of Arts & Humanities of the University of Central Florida, the administration, and staff are proud to host this annual group exhibition of our impending 2012 Bachelor of Fine Arts degree graduates. The BFA is the standard credential taken in visual arts at an American institution of higher learning through a combination of four or more years combined academic study and creative research/performance. With the successful launch of this exhibition and via numerous associated scholarly processes, we look forward to affirming that these degree candidates have each indeed acquired the initial 'license to practice' as professional artisans and artists.

"The diverse and remarkably creative work shown in this exhibition--clearly falling into two distinct camps of still image or moving image--represents many semesters of effort on the part of each candidate. At all times, each has aspired to create work that is formally sound, conceptually coherent, and relevant to a practical, industrial, esoteric, or hybrid field of choice ranging from: drawing to printmaking to painting to ceramics to sculpture to book arts, times arts, photography, design, illustration, and animation. The faculty has guided each of them along the way through instruction, individual and group mentorship, and continual critique of their creative products.

"As a group, the talented young women and men in this graduating class have built this exhibition together over the course of one semester in committee-style collaboration. They have worked jointly and at all times in a consistent spirit of cooperation, always proceeding in a shared space of mutual tolerance, compassion, and humanity. As they now go forward to pursue lives of creative production, I am confident that they do so in the spirit of shared skills and talents; a kind complement to their individual visions of beauty and truth."
