Grad Ex

The Graduate Exhibitions Committee, also known as GradEx, would like to expand the opportunities MICA graduate students have to showcase their work. GradEx is a student-run organization that facilitates learning experiences through the curation and exhibition of art and design. 

Graduate Interdisciplinary Club

Do you know any painting students who have wanted to work with a graphic designer to create wall text for their exhibit? Are there sculpture students who would like to get experience making sets for a film? Any social design or community arts students who would like to work with a photographer or filmmaker to document their work? These are just some examples of the types of collaborations that the Graduate Interdisciplinary Club hopes to facilitate. This club will get the creative juices flowing between departments and help students develop professional collaborations that last long after graduation. Our target audience will be Graduate Students of all disciplines. The Graduate Interdisciplinary Club will hold 2-3 events per semester, hosted by different programs each month where the hosting department showcases recent projects and pitches opportunities for students in other disciplines to get involved. There will also be short, student-led skill-sharing workshops to provide hands-on experience in new and interesting mediums.

National Art Education Association (NAEA) Student Chapter

The MICA NAEA Student Chapter is a student-led organization that strives to foster relationships within the MICA community, the Art Education community, and the surrounding Baltimore/ Maryland community. We advocate for arts education at MICA and in the local community. This includes a mentoring network called Generation Next: Empowering Future Leaders, where we actively seek to make greater connections among undergraduate and graduate students who express interests in art education while working with Baltimore City youth. The NAEA Student Chapter also provides different learning opportunities, which help support professional development for future art educators.
