Thanks to the genius investigative journalist Hannah Levintova for coming by to talk abstraction and life, and great conversations with artist Tim Rientenbach.

Bhen Alan thank you for your gorgeous 30 foot woven tapestry that feels it’s part of the ecology of my work, creating a vibrant conversation

Really fun pop-up thesis event, “Sustained Matter”, at the Krikorian Gallery to wrap up our energetic June ‘26 MFA residency! Congrats to our new graduates Kailey Atkinson, Zach Brocklehurst, Shelby Feltoon, Jonathan MIchael Larkin, and B. Taylor Harrison

The work of our June’26 graduates will be seen with our upcoming Jan’27 graduates at our annual thesis exhibition at MASS MoCA in January!

Great to see community skill-sharing in workshops led by fellow grad students! Recently this included a puppet making workshop with Elizabeth Massa, the academic job interview process with Todd Behrendt, character design with Chloë, and 3D scanning with Jonathan MIchael Larkin!

Stunning sky over Clark campus after wonderful talks by visiting faculty Patrice Aphrodite Helmar tonight and RJ Messineo last night!

As our program has expanded significantly in size, we’ve moved our talks to Tilton Hall, Clark University’s “Great Room”.

Here are some of the talks by June 2026 graduates last night - wonderful to see their practices develop over the last two years!
