Callas Featured in New York Academy of Art Exhibition and WEAD Magazine

Kimberly Callas, MFA, associate professor in the Department of Art and Design, has had her artwork "Ocean Reach" selected for the New York Academy of Art's 2026 Summer Exhibition. The show runs June 11 through July 13 at the academy, located at 111 Franklin St. in New York..

The exhibition, juried by Tony Cox, Peggy Leboeuf and Hannah Root, features more than 75 paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures by the academy's alumni, students and faculty.

"Ocean Reach" is a hand-painted relief work made with acrylic ink and graphite on 3D-printed PLA bio filament. Measuring 8 by 6 by 2 inches, the artwork is part of Callas's summer fellowship series, "Ocean Entanglement," and continues her exploration of combining handmade sculpture with digital 3D printing, ecological symbolism and polychrome surfaces.

Callas's work is also featured in the newly released WEAD Magazine #15: Place Setting, published by WEAD: Women Eco Artists Dialog. The issue includes a featured art portfolio of Callas's work and highlights artists, writers, and cultural practitioners engaged with ecology, place, environmental justice, and the more-than-human world.
