The Department of Art & Architecture class of 2026 includes fifty Design and Fine Arts students who completed their college careers by realizing individually driven, ambitious thesis projects — work that synthesizes everything learned across four years of rigorous creative practice at USF.

Students enter this capstone course in their final year, bringing with them a wide range of skills, techniques, and perspectives developed through design, fine arts, and interdisciplinary study. Through a sustained process of ideation, research, writing, production, and presentation, each student realizes a long-term project rooted in their own unique vision.

The results of their thesis process are on view in the annual exhibition at SOMArts Cultural Center in San Francisco.

Between the Lines is where meaning lives — in the gap between what is made and what is understood.
