The College of Visual and Performing Arts’ (VPA) Warehouse Gallery will present “Unforeseen,” a three-part exhibition of thesis work by 32 master of fine arts (M.F.A.) students in the college’s School of Art and Department of Film and Media Arts.

Part one of the exhibition runs March 22-28 with an opening reception on Friday, March 21, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. The gallery is located in the Nancy Cantor Warehouse, 350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse.
