Join us for an opportunity to explore the University of Notre Dame’s graduate programs in Ceramics, Industrial Design, Painting and Drawing, Photography, Printmaking, Sculpture, and Visual Communication Design. Talk with faculty and current graduate students, meet visiting prospective graduate students, and tour the Art, Art History & Design facilities.
MFA students will have open studios in Riley Hall from 10:30 am–12:30 pm and 2 pm–4 pm. The guest critics are Claire Pentecost, an American artist, writer, and professor in the Department of Photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Michael Elwell, designer, entrepreneur, and associate professor and founding director of the Richmond Institute for Design + Innovation at Western Michigan University.
All studio and design classes are canceled in celebration of Department Day/MFA Open Studios.
Free and open to the public.
