Bookmark Bookmarked To MyMICA
Each semester, the graduate programs across MICA host a variety of local, national, and international visiting artists, designers, and critics.

These outstanding professionals give public talks, share meals with students and faculty, engage in give-and-take in small class meetings and seminars, and critique student work in the studios, in the campus galleries, and out in the neighborhoods surrounding MICA. Visitors to MICA are part of the fabric and culture of the educational experience.
