127 Twenty-Four Seven | 2026 BFA Studio Art Exhibition

The University Art Gallery at Cal Poly Presents 127 Twenty-Four Seven, the 2026 BFA Studio Art Exhibition, 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 the University 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 the University Art Gallery. The exhibition will be open thereafter during gallery hours Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
