Madison Rubenstein ’13

Madison Rubenstein ’13 was featured in Lavender Magazine as one of the queer artists at Art-a-Whirl 2026. They discussed the intersectionality of their art as a disabled queer person, and how they view their arts creation as an act of survival. Being an artist also help accommodates their chronic illness flare ups, since they’re able to determine their own hours.

This year will be their 12th year participating in art a whirl following their graduation from MCAD. They told Lavender Magazine, “I feel very lucky. My studio is my favorite place to be, and I love being able to talk to people about what I do.”

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
