Each year, the Henry presents the University of Washington's School of Art + Art History + Design Master of Fine Arts and Master of Design thesis exhibition. Throughout their programs, fine arts and design students work with advisers and other artists to develop advanced techniques, expand concepts, discuss critical issues, and emerge with a vision and direction for their own work.

These Are Their Stories is an ongoing series of black watercolor drawings on small squares of lightly tinted paper depicting victims from the television crime drama Law & Order. Rendered from video stills of the post-crime scene, each drawing is numbered according to the season of the series and episode. This catalogue of images examines the artist’s personal fascination with vulnerability and loss, as well as the larger cultural enthrallment and the role of media in feeding this fascination. All thirty-five works from the series in the Henry collection will be on view.

This group exhibition engages artists whose work addresses narratives, communities, and histories that are typically hidden or invisible in our public space (both conceptually and literally defined).

Step inside the Artist Studio doors and chat with visiting artists as they work.

Join David Bachman, Professor of Political Science and former Chair of the China Study Program, at the Seattle Art Museum for a lecture about China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Much of the developed world sees the Belt and Road as a Chinese strategy and power play, leading to debt traps and Chinese imperialism. But China’s motives are multiple and while there are indeed significant downsides to the Belt and Road, it is filling a number of global needs and national aspirations of the countries China works with.
