The Swig Company Presents: New Positions- An Exhibition of First-Year and Graduating MFA Students from California College of the Arts at the Mills Building

May 26, 2026

The Swig Company is proud to present New Positions, an exhibition featuring ten artists from California College of the Arts. Showcasing work by both first-year and graduating MFA students, the exhibition highlights artists at a pivotal moment in their development. Through painting, mixed media, and photography, New Positions offers a dynamic view into artistic practices that are both rigorously formed and actively evolving.

Founded in 1907 and closing in 2027, California College of the Arts has long been a vital force in shaping contemporary art and design in the Bay Area, fostering interdisciplinary inquiry and deep engagement with the cultural and social conditions of the present. New Positions reflects this legacy, foregrounding artists whose work engages material, image, and process as sites of experimentation and critical thought.

The exhibition includes work by Mel Blue, Ana Díaz Korin, Adam Wever Glen, Jennifer Han, Arielle Harvey, Grace Jin, Adrian Martinez, Zoe Grey, Drew Price, and Ye Wang. Together, these artists articulate a range of perspectives and methodologies, from intuitive and process-driven approaches to conceptually grounded investigations. What unites them is a shared commitment to inquiry and a readiness to enter broader artistic conversations. Together, their work reflects not only a period of personal growth, but also a larger moment of change as these artists emerge during the closing chapter of this storied institution.
