The MFA students are on campus! Wilson's MFA program is unique as students work remotely for the majority of the year, but come together for a four week summer intensive. The time on campus consists of individual studio time with faculty mentoring and critique and in-depth exploration in all concentrations.
For four weeks the students brought an energy of learning and discovery to campus during their annual summer intensive. From a curatorial project to a studio showcase to dramaturgs, the students were highly productive and created meaningful experiences they will take with them on their career journey.
