Erin Bodfish, “The Last of Us”

MFA:NW is more than a showcase of promising new talent—it’s a program designed to strengthen the arts ecosystem of the Northwest. By bringing high-caliber, contemporary work to communities with limited access to the arts, MFA:NW cultivates dialogue, connection, and opportunity. Free and open to the public, the exhibition invites viewers to engage directly with fresh perspectives from the region’s next generation of artists.
