Demystifying the low-residency MFA Graduate Program, with Ben Sloat

Thursday, March 7 (6:30-8pm) on ZOOM

This is a FREE MEMBER EVENT

Registration closes: February 29, at 5:00PM

MFA Director Ben Sloat will lead a presentation on the low-residency MFA program model, where students (average age of 43) meet for two ten-day intensives a year in a rigorous, discursive, and supportive community. This rich experience of community is combined with supervised at-home semester based work, with faculty advisors and local artist professionals as studio mentors. Overall, a balanced skill set for a 21st century artist is generated, empowering students for their artistic futures.

Share your questions and concerns! All aspects of the MFA experience will be addressed.

Registration is required. Please sign-up through ZOOM.
