final projects exhibition fsrd uns 2023

This time, the International Fine Arts Exhibition looks different from usual because this exhibition does not only present works of art and designs from the four Study Program students at the Faculty of Art and Design, Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta.
This exhibition attempts to visualize various Final Project works from the four Study Programs. Usually, the Final Assignment exhibition is only in a gallery or special room during the Final Assignment session, and even then, only for one day and only the examiners and their friends see their work. Innovation itself is born from experience and in-depth observation in the process of life. Seeing these various phenomena, an innovation emerged to present this International Fine Art Exhibition based on the works of the Final Projects of the four Study Program students at FSRD UNS Surakarta.
The exhibition was not only attended by internal students but also involved students from abroad, such as USM Malaysia, UITM Malaysia, and Pohcang Thailand. This exhibition is also held virtually and offline, so these two exhibitions can speed up effective publication and promotion. You could say this exhibition is being carried out in a hybrid manner or two different ways. The works displayed at this event vary from conventional to digital. The themes displayed are also based on tradition and ecology to the present. Finally, we all hope that this unbiased exhibition can continue from year to year.

The exhibition is one of the proofs of the existence of art and design higher education institutions in addition to the writing of scientific papers. This time the final project work of FSRD UNS students in Fine Arts, Textile Craft, Visual Communication Design, and Interior Design, and their colleagues from USM (Malaysia), UiTM (Malaysia), Poh-Chang Academy Of Art (Thailand) held a joint exhibition titled The Final Project: Art, Craft, Design International Exhibition. The exhibition will be held from 3 to 5 August 2023. The success of the Final Project is not only the great grades obtained in the courtroom, which the lecturers test. But real success is the preeminent value bestowed by society. It is the right first step to prove it with an exhibition that the wider community can appreciate. The presence of observers, connoisseurs, users of creative industry products, and students who will continue their studies at universities is the place to get information. And in the Hall of the Mesen Campus FSRD UNS, the exhibitors will prove it. "I Exhibition therefore I Exist" is not wrong as jargon to encourage them. To all exhibitors, congratulations on the exhibition. We hope you will always be successful in facing the challenges ahead.

The Final Project International Exhibition of Fine Art and Design or The Final Project: Art, Craft, Design International Exhibition which displays the works of the four Study Programs, namely the Fine Arts Study Program, Visual Communication Design, Interior Design and Textile Craft within the Faculty of Fine Arts and By design, Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta feels different. The difference lies in the concept of the exhibition, which not only shows the existence of students and lecturers, but this time, the event tries to display the final work or project of the students of the four Study Programs in the FSRD UNS Surakarta environment. The results of the final assignment are usually only witnessed by the board of examiners and their friends and are only shown in the exam halls and campus galleries for the occasional exhibition in public. Not only that, but this exhibition is also international because it collaborates with the works of students from USM (Malaysia), UiTM (Malaysia), and Poh-Chang Academy Of Art (Thailand). Apart from revitalizing works from abroad, this exhibition is also held art and design workshops presented by the four study programs so that there is interaction between exhibition observers and presenters. It is hoped that this event can trigger a climate for work, exhibitions, and also a place for product promotion from the four study programs. Finally, as representatives of the exhibition committee, we apologize for the errors in organizing this exhibition, and we hope that the exhibition and workshop will run smoothly and be successful
