Graduation 2026

Experience this year’s graduates presenting their final works in the Sculpture Hall at Funen Art Academy.

GRADUATION 2026 marks the end of five years of artistic education and the beginning of a new, professional chapter in the lives of 13 artists: Cathlin Madeleine Beeck, Emma Bojsen, Kajsa Cello, Marie Hartmann Christensen, Jonathan Nørgaard Dahl, Thora Eliza, Caroline Sofie Have, Magnus Gitt Henderson, Amanda Brix Kolstrup, Zuzanna Kozłowska, Mari Skousen, Viljam Smed og Augusta Wolffbrandt.

The number 13 is often associated with the unpredictable — that which breaks with the system’s order. In GRADUATION 2026 it becomes a metaphor for a generation that steps into the world in a time marked by change, crises and new technological and social conditions.

The exhibition has been curated by Rebekka Anker-Møller.

Join us for a celebration of the freshly hatched artists at the exhibition opening, Thursday 21 May, 16:00-19:00 at Funen Art Academy. There will be speeches, special opening night performance, bubbly, and refreshments can be bought at food trucks.

Opening speeches from 16:15 by art historian Frida Sandström, curator Rebekka Anker-Møller, and the rector of Funen Art Academy Kristine Kern.

Exhibition Period: 21 May – 29 June 2026
