#ProudtoBU: Congratulations are in order for @bu_visualarts’ Graphic Design program! 👩‍💻 Most recently, the program was recognized by Graphic Design USA (@gdusa)—the nation’s most popular news source for graphic design business, ideas, and opportunities since 1963—with @bostonu Assistant Professor Mary Yang named a GDUSA 2026 Person to Watch, three students selected as GDUSA‘s 2026 Students to Watch, and the program being listed among Top Design Schools in the country. 🐾

Yang, an assistant professor at BU teaching in both the undergraduate and graduate Graphic Design programs, is the co-founder of @radicalcharacters, an educational and curatorial platform that researches and explores graphic design, typography, and culture through Hanzi (Chinese characters). Yang is currently the 2025–2026 Artist-Writer-in-Residence at Johns Hopkins University’s University Writing Program.

Spanning undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs, these emerging creatives are developing the skills, confidence, and vision that today’s industry demands, according to GDUSA. Join us in recognizing BU students Yunxi (Lucy) Ye (CFA’26), Augie Oppenheimer (CFA’26), and Anne Chen (CFA’26)! 👏

💻 Lucy 👉 Working across typography, publication design, motion graphics, and interactive media, Lucy creates participatory and performative systems that translate physical action into visual and collective experience. Her work has been recognized by Design 360˚, the GDC Award, and the KTK Design Award, and has been exhibited internationally.

💻 Augie 👉 Augie chose to become a designer in order to utilize his creativity to solve real world problems, which he has been able to do while Interning at Spin350 Creative, working at @dailyfreepress, and designing for many other organizations throughout his time at BU.

💻 Anne 👉 Anne is particularly drawn to etching and silkscreen, integrating them with graphic design, to explore how analog and digital processes can meaningfully inform one another. Her practice centers on creating moments of connection: between people, between materials, and between inner experience and outward expression.

Attention art lovers — expand your collection and support a vital community project! Each year, Boston University School of Visual Arts printmaking students take part in a collaborative exchange with the Kopanang Community Trust in South Africa. Kopanang empowers women affected by HIV/AIDS and unemployment by teaching hand-embroidery and other crafts that provide income and community support. For this project, Kopanang artists translate BU student designs into vibrant embroidered works. These embroideries — together with the original student prints — will be available for purchase. All proceeds are donated to Kopanang to fund their programs and services for the local community. 

⭐️This event was rescheduled from last week. Visit the table tomorrow (Wednesday, April 29) from 11am-4pm in 855 Comm Ave (first floor, next to the elevators).

Congratulations to Associate Professor of Art, Painting Lucy Kim—she was awarded the 2026 Wagner Arts Fellowship that supports mid-career artists in the Greater Boston area. She was one of three artists awarded an unrestricted grant of $75,000 and access to tailored artist support services. The Fellows will present their work in a group exhibition at the Wagner Gallery in August 2026.

Professor Kim is an interdisciplinary artist who works across painting, sculpture, and biological media. In her hybrid works, she embraces distortion as a tool to deconstruct how we see what we see, and by extension, the complicated relationship between truth and sight.

Kim is a recipient of the 2024 Howard Foundation Fellowship, and the 2017 ICA Boston James and Audrey Foster Prize. In 2022, she received the Creative Capital Award for her project printing images with bacteria that has been genetically-modified to produce melanin. Melanin is the main bio-pigment behind human skin, hair, and eye color. She began this project while an artist-in-residence at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and continues to develop it at Boston University, where she teaches. Through this project, Kim expands her committed study of our visual habits, which she first began in her sculptural paintings using unconventional processes in the studio. Kim is based in Cambridge, MA and is Associate Professor of Art at Boston University. She is represented by Praise Shadows.

Next week is our last Tuesday Night Lecture Series event of the semester. Join artist Zoe Pettijohn Schade on April 14 at 7PM for an artist talk organized by BU’s MFA Painting program (@bostonpainting).

A graduate of Cooper Union, she received a 2012-2013 Fulbright Research Scholars Grant to Paris and a 2015 New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship. Her work was featured in a 2013 solo show at the Mona Bismarck American Center for Art and Culture in Paris, and in 2019, she participated in the deCordova New England Biennial at the DeCordova Museum.

Schade has been represented by Kai Matsumiya Fine Arts in New York since 2015, with her most recent solo exhibition, Attempts at Self-Organization: The Grand Sorting, which is currently on view until January 2026.
