Open House

The MFA Visual Narrative open studios show represents the culmination of the program’s intensive summer semester. Meet the program’s first and second year students in their studio spaces, where they will showcase the work that they’ve created this summer. Visit the accompanying RisoLAB Print Slam and shop for new art by our students and the RisoLAB community. Mingle with the community and enjoy a free refreshment. This event is open to the public and registration is required.

The MFA Visual Narrative summer semester is an intensive two-month period of collaboration and active experimentation. Students take on assignments aimed at broadening their skill sets, honing their story craft and developing their personal voices. In completing these projects, they add a new chapter to their own personal and professional stories, having discovered new ways of approaching narrative as an immersive experience that speaks to their passions and communities and new ways of sharing these fresh visions with the world.
