“for now” is a phrase that the class of 2024 has grown quite familiar with throughout our time at the Maine College of Art & Design. During this period, we have created a community that we can lean on—a community that transcends the now. Through the support of our friends, faculty, and the greater Portland community, we know that no matter where we end up, we are connected to one another and to this place. for now, we can celebrate this time that we've shared.

for now, showcases the many skills and techniques of our class through all eleven majors. It reflects on an incredible collective past and an equally incredible group of individuals. This exhibition shows our art as it is in the present. We must take each moment one at a time, embracing the now, while looking boldly to the future.

So long, for now,
The Class of 2024
