Student Voices

As part of FSU’s campus life, MoFA is in a unique position to showcase the voices of our students, teachers, and alumni. This particular collection of blog posts is the work of MoFA’s student interns. Each intern is encouraged to create a blog post that combines both the current exhibitions at MoFA and their own interests. Below you will read insightful articles about topics such as art history, museum studies, and student creativity. Enjoy our Student Voices!
