Root Division presents MFA Now 2014, an archive project featuring 126 Bay Area MFA Candidates and juried exhibition presenting 17 of those artists’ work. According to the US News and World Report survey from 2013, the Bay Area is home to seven of the top one hundred MFA Programs in Visual Arts in the country: California College of the Arts, Mills College, San Francisco Art Institute, San Francisco State University, San Jose State University, Stanford University, and the University of California, Berkeley.

The MFA Now 2014 Archive, is an inclusionary publication of all eligible MFA candidates, set to be released in February 2014 with a full page dedicated to each contributing MFA candidate and a compilation of essays by Juror, Donna Napper, faculty from each MFA program, and Root Division staff. Designed by the Gold Collective, this printed archive will serve to navigate the contemporary moment in Bay Area MFA programs and find connections between the artists and institutions.

Juror, Donna Napper, curator of the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, selected seventeen works from the submitted archive materials to be shown in Root Division's gallery for the month of February. This Second Saturday event serves as an exhibition opening and release party for the archive project. Copies of the archive publication will be for sale at the exhibition opening or during business hours for $20.
