Below are a few comments by recent grads:

Jill Downen, MFA 2001, Sculptor

“My experiences have been relevant, helpful and challenging. It’s fast paced and there is so much to absorb that the student must make choices, i.e., which lectures to attend; so many good visiting artists.”

Kelly Vanderbrug, MFA 2001, Painter

“I liked the opportunity to take classes outside the School of Art. I found the Painting Seminar to be challenging and fulfilling. The visiting artists gave me good exposure to the broader art dialogue. Faculty in Painting was diverse and interesting.”

David Holland, MFA 1998

“Enjoyed the freedom to work/24 hour access. The program provided a number of opportunities to branch out into other areas and try different mediums.”

Susan Watt, MFA 1997, Sculptor

“The Grad Program puts students in the mind set of being an artist. The school is strong conceptually—helping students clarify ideas which lead to the path of artistic research.”
