Each summer, the MassArt MFA Low-Residency program hosts a Summer Lecture Series featuring artists, curators, and scholars who present their work to our community–many of whom also meet with our students for one-on-one and group critiques. From emerging to mid-career to well established artists, we seek out voices and perspectives that can open new worlds for our students and shift the way they view their own practice. These lectures are open to both the MassArt community and to the general public.
