Talk

Join MFA Visual Narrative for its annual Storyteller’s Series, a free lecture program held at the School of Visual Arts. Professionals are invited from across a vast range of creative disciplines to share how they’ve applied their visual narrative practice to the work they do. Past guests have included illustrators, VR specialists, experience designers, sound artists and more.
