Masters of Arts Alumni Happy Hour!

MA Alumni Event

This is a repost from Alumni Relations.

On behalf of MCAD and our wonderful MA program directors—Dawn, Kami, and Lafe—I want to thank everyone who came out to our first Masters of Arts Alumni Happy Hour! It was really special to bring together alumni from MACL, MAGWD, and MASD under one roof. It was truly a pleasure to see you all reconnect, celebrate this year's graduating class, and welcome them into the alumni community.

A huge shoutout to Lara Cornell ’24, MASD and Vern Mangio ’24, MASD for sharing their incredible workshops. Lara demonstrated sustainability through watercolor painting using food waste, while Vern showcased the power of peer-to-peer connection and the potential of a gift economy.

As your alumni relations officer, I'm always here if you'd like to learn more about ways to stay connected to MCAD.

Wishing you a great rest of the summer,

Forrest Wasko ’17
Development and Alumni Relations Officer

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.
