STUDIOS + FACILITIES

THURSDAY JULY 4, 2024 | CAMPUS CLOSED – NO ACCESS, INCLUDING PERSONAL STUDIOS

 

MFA Low-Residency students have personal studios located in either the Tower or Kennedy Building, depending on the materials and processes they use primarily in their practices. All studio spaces are assigned by the Director of Graduate Program Resources & Exhibitions, Felicia D Scott Flint <fdscott@massart.edu> and Grad Studios + Exhibitions Assistant Justin Guertin <jaguertin@massart.edu>. 

 

ACCESS/POLICIES

You can remain on site during closed hours (11pm-7am), however you may not enter or re-enter campus buildings after 11pm, so please keep this in mind as you make your plans.
