An MFA from The Corcoran

August 29, 2007

Smart move – just spoke with one of the professors who was getting ready for first day of classes today – and the Corcoran is in the planning stages of offering an MFA degree. Great news for all of us in the DC art community and another example of how the Corcoran is ready to change with the times, to progress.

Art schools have to offer an MFA program to attract high level professors and serious students; I think area students were torn between, do I get a BFA from the Corcoran and then move away for my MFA, or, do I stay and go to AU for my MFA (and then get to have my senior thesis show in the Katzen Center)

and they were choosing the AU route.

I’m curious to see how this new competition is going to affect the local emerging arts, but I can assure it will be positive.

Introductions3

March 29, 2007

Introductions is Irvine Contemporary‘s annual summer show of works by recent art college graduates in the Washington, mid-Atlantic, and East Coast region.

For Introductions3 this year, Irvine has posted a web page with application instructions and information to assist artists with submissions for the show. The gallery tries to see as many thesis shows and do as many studio visits as possible, but they clearly can’t see everyone, and they want to open the process to as many artists as possible.

Visit this website for information on submitting work for the show. This year the selection committee will include Washington area collectors as well as the Irvine Contemporary crew. Submissions must be from 2006 or 2007 graduates only.
