MFA Public Research Presentations, Fall 2025

The MCAD MFA Program invites you to our annual Public Research Presentations, held this year on Tuesday, November 25, from 1 - 5PM. Each second-year MFA student will present a ten-minute summary of their recent research, which will be followed by five minutes for question and answer.

Take this opportunity to learn more about the ideas and contexts behind the work of these soon-to-be graduating artists and makers. Candidates in MCAD’s interdisciplinary MFA program explore wide-ranging ideas through a multitude of media, including Graphic Design, Sculpture & Installation, Photography, Animation, Engaged & Public Arts, Comic Arts, Illustration, Drawing & Painting, and Printmaking/Paper/Book Arts.

The event will take place in-person in Auditorium 150, MCAD Main building (2501 Stevens Ave, 55404) as well as livestreamed online: www.youtube.com/live/f6Pt986CeVE

Please join us for this milestone event for our MFA 2's!
