Community doesn't just happen. It is nurtured by the belief that members matter to one another and to the group. You matter in MICA's graduate community. Your ideas, risks, sacrifices, burnt midnight oil - we got your back.

Meet the people that make our Graduate Community the living, breathing cohort of relational artists, designers, and creators that it is. In this community, you have room to fail and figure things out with guidance and support that won't weigh you down.

In the words of Joan Waltemath, MICA's Director of the Leroy E. Hoffberger School of Painting:

"When you've completed a body of work on your own and feel you need a response to keep going, it's time for grad school."
