Florida State University’s Museum of Fine Arts and College of Fine Arts have released their schedule for spring 2026, which includes a variety of exhibitions, workshops, and symposia across several campus galleries.
The events will take place at the Museum of Fine Arts (MoFA), William Johnston Building (WJB) Gallery, Fine Arts Building (FAB) Gallery, and the Facility for Arts Research (FAR). Kaylee Spencer, director of the Museum of Fine Arts, said, “This spring, we’re excited to welcome a series of world-class exhibitions and arts-focused experiences to FSU. By working with visionary partners on campus and beyond, we’re able to bring this exciting season to fruition. We can’t wait to share these works with the Tallahassee community.”
The MoFA will feature the traveling exhibition “Like everything alive that we try to hold forever,” organized by the Esker Foundation and produced by Independent Curators International. This exhibition runs through June 27 and presents work from seven artists who examine relationships between human bodies, non-human objects, colonialism, and artificial intelligence using photography, sculpture, and video.
Two other exhibitions remain open at MoFA until March 14. “Water Ways: Indigenous Ecologies and Florida Heritage,” co-presented with the FSU Native American and Indigenous Studies Center, examines Florida’s material cultures in a global context. The solo exhibition “Akimbo” by FSU alumna Zoë Charlton explores how identity is influenced by place.
At the WJB Gallery, visitors can see “A Place Within,” curated by art history doctoral candidates Estefania Santiago and Sara I. Rodríguez Rivera. The FAB Gallery will host three student-centered shows: “Horizon: Speculative Worlds and Interdisciplinary Research” from February 5-26; an undergraduate sculpture exhibition from March 5-26; and a photography student exhibition from April 6-23. FAR will present “Lay of the Land,” an exhibition featuring Department of Art faculty on February 20.
Additional programming includes workshops such as an experimental cartography session led by Moses März on February 10 & 12; seminars like “Visualizing a Politics of Relation” on February 13; family activities including Storytime Studio on select Saturdays in March through May; artist-led workshops such as basket weaving inspired by ongoing exhibitions; thesis receptions for graduating MFA students in April; curator talks; origami sessions with artist Miya Turnbull in May; and community events like the opening reception for the Tri-state Juried Watercolor Exhibition on May 28.
All events are free and open to the public. More information about registration links, event hours, or additional details can be found at mofa.fsu.edu.
