Celebrate the artistic and academic achievements of College of Western Idaho’s (CWI) Studio Art graduates at the exhibit, What Makes Us Human, on display, beginning Thursday, April 16, at Boise State University’s Student Union Building Fine Arts Gallery.
This year’s Studio Art cohort has selected the theme of What Makes Us Human as a reflection of their love of hand-processes, the exploration their identities and lived experience, and as a defiant expression of their joy for life in the face of a world that is increasingly hostile to our shared humanity.
The 2026 CWI Capstone Artist Exhibition celebrates the artistic and academic achievements of the following Studio Art graduates: Ahmed Abouzeid, Ali Henslee, Ilene Antonov, Jordan Dunbar, Josie Carver, Keira Edington, Marcus Hernandez, Bronwyn Hitchcock, Victor Castro, Ellie Wilson, Amalia Thomas, Gracie Kay Sosa, Casey Stitzel, Nalani Roberts, Gloria Pineda, Sadie Meyer, Rachel Mayhew, Natalie Masterson, Avamarie Madrigal, Audrey Ava Larson, Eden Erryn Hunt, Jordan Boswell.
The exhibit will run from April 16 – May 11 and can be viewed between 7 a.m. – 10 p.m. daily. In addition, students, faculty, staff, and community members are invited to an opening reception Thursday, April 16. The event is free and open to the public.

CWI’s Studio Art program promotes the development of artistic skills and practice, craftsmanship, and aesthetic discernment. The Associate of Arts degree in Studio Art provides students with a foundational understanding of the history of visual culture, provides opportunities to grow as artists, and prepares students who are interested in transferring to a four–year college or university to complete a bachelor’s degree in Art.
