Florida State University’s Museum of Fine Arts (MoFA) has announced its exhibition schedule for the 2025-2026 academic year. The season will feature a range of exhibitions, including displays of Indigenous artifacts, contemporary art, and works by FSU’s graduating Master of Fine Arts Studio Art students.
The first exhibition, “Water Ways: Indigenous Ecologies and Florida Heritage,” will open on September 18 and focus on the relationship between communities and water. On October 16, MoFA will host an opening reception and artist talk for “Akimbo,” which features Zoë Charlton, an FSU Art alumna from Tallahassee.
“We are thrilled to share these upcoming exhibitions with FSU and the entire Tallahassee community,” said Museum Director Kaylee Spencer. “Our season reflects the unique creative energy that defines our region and celebrates the strong academic partnerships that define our university. There is so much to look forward to.”
During home football game Saturdays at Doak Campbell Stadium, visitors can participate in art activities at the museum before the games. On September 20, ahead of FSU’s Family Weekend football game against Kent State, there will be a special kickoff event at MoFA. Activities include screen-printing custom MoFA pennants and guided tours of current exhibitions.
In January, MoFA will collaborate with Independent Curators International to present “Like everything alive that we try to hold forever.” This exhibition features seven artists whose work explores how human bodies interact with non-human objects through photography, sculpture, and video. It is curated by Elizabeth Diggon, Naomi Potter, and Shauna Thompson.
The annual “MFA Graduating Artists Showcase” opens April 10 and highlights work by graduating studio art MFA students from FSU’s Department of Art. This event offers a preview of their artistic practices before graduation.
In May, MoFA will host the Tallahassee Watercolor Society’s annual juried exhibition featuring local watercolor artists.
Throughout the academic year, MoFA plans to offer additional programming such as workshops, artist talks, panel discussions, and other events aimed at engaging both FSU students and members of the Tallahassee community.
