Columbus College of Art & Design is proud to present First: The 2012 New Projects MFA Thesis Exhibition, featuring the college’s inaugural master-of-fine-arts graduating class. Works in the exhibition will range from glass, installation, social practice, and photography to fabric design, illustration, painting and digital media.
CCAD’s MFA in Visual Arts: New Projects is a project-based, non-media-specific curriculum that focuses on individual artistic/design development and creative leadership. It brings together talented individuals from a variety of different media to build a community that fosters exploration, professionalism, and creative success.
MFA Candidates are:
Elena Harvey Collins, Alex Conrad, Nicole Crock, Nathan Gorgen, Chris Harman, Woodrow Hinton III, Virginia Kistler, Kayane Kouzoujian, Cosby Lindquist, Amanda Rouse, Crystal Tursich
About the program:
Artists working with traditional studio practices, as well as installation and digital- and time-based media, participate together in a two-year, 60-hour curriculum that emphasizes the artist’s public as well as private creative roles.
Each semester, MFA students work with selected CCAD faculty to propose, develop, and execute individual projects. Project proposals that utilize or are based in painting, drawing, photography, animation, sculpture, video, interactive design, printmaking, illustration, installation, glass, ceramics, and design can be facilitated.
