A Room of Almost – 2026 BFA Honours Exhibition

Exhibition Details

The 2026 BFA Honours exhibition, A Room of Almost, features the work of Chantel Bustos.

The exhibitions features a series of large-scale oil paintings and mixed-media works exploring how procrastination shapes identity, relationships, and behaviour. It invites viewers to reflect on the emotional weight and complexity behind a condition that is often dismissed as simple avoidance or lack of discipline.

Students in the BFA Honours (Visual Studies) are involved in creative research and visual art practices that engage with contemporary society. The courses of study enable students to develop conceptual understanding in the visual arts, to develop a foundation of knowledge and practice of artistic self-sufficiency, and to develop creative processes of planning in order to carry out their various studio interests. The program enables students to determine, through studio practice, the understandings and insights that support their own artistic and intellectual development. The Honours degree in Visual Studies is an advanced undergraduate program for students seeking a more focused studio experience, aspiring to careers as professional artists, or considering further graduate level study in an MFA program. A high standard of creative achievement is required for admission, continuation, and completion.
