Laguna Art Museum (LAM) presents LCAD MFA: Undercurrents, on view from February 13 through May 30, 2026. The exhibition features a curated selection of work by the 2026 Master of Fine Art graduates of Laguna College of Art and Design (LCAD), offering a compelling glimpse into the evolving practices of emerging contemporary artists.

The artists in Undercurrents are contemporary storytellers who merge time-honored techniques with deeply personal, modern perspectives. Grounded in close observation of the physical world, their works reveal imaginative and emotional depths that extend beyond the rational and expected. Like a celebration shaped by subtle currents of serenity, joy, unity and melancholy, the exhibition presents a nuanced portrait of what it means to live, reflect and create in today’s world.

Undercurrents reflects a thoughtful and probing moment in contemporary art practice,” said Julie Perlin Lee, Executive Director of Laguna Art Museum. “These artists demonstrate a remarkable sensitivity to both material and meaning, and we are proud to present their work at a point when their voices are taking shape and gaining momentum.”

Visitors will encounter a wide range of media and approaches, each work offering insight into the distinct artistic inquiries of LCAD’s MFA graduates. LCAD MFA: Undercurrents invites audiences to engage with the passion, curiosity and experimentation that define this new generation of artists.
