Students in the School's MFA and Post-Bac programs are constantly struggling with their fears and anxieties just as many other individuals do. But unlike the surrounding societies, the artists exhibiting in "Fear, Pessimism and Anxiety" have found the means to express, and perhaps expiate, these nagging issues through their art.

Participating artists: Andrea Barone, Annie Blazejack, Monica Filippenko, Laura Harrison, Case Hathaway-Zepade, Sunyong Hwang, Hilary Irvine, Muge Karamanci, Charlotte Lewis, Greg Lookerse, Maia Lynch, Monica Manoski, Vanessa Michalak, Samara Pearlstein,Heather Rankin, David Richmond, Molly Segal, Tyler Smith, Paul Sullivan, Keena Tarrant, Garima Tripathy, Ashley Wood, Esther Zabronsky.

This exhibition, the second in a series developed by the Mission Hill Gallery Student Committee (Ryan Kish, Michael MacMahon, Monica Manoski, David Richmond, Constance Sawyer, Paul Sullivan, Carl Vestweber, Rebecca Williams) is on view October 15–30, 2012.
