MFA Degree Show 2022

Afgang (MFA Degree Show) is the annual exhibition for the graduates from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts’ Schools of Visual Arts. The exhibition celebrates and presents works created by 25 new talents from the Academy of Fine Arts’ School of Fine Arts and is both an insight into a 6-year educational process as well as a final presentation that points into the future of the artists.
