This August, MCAD undergraduate and graduate alumni displayed work at Public Functionary gallery in Minneapolis. Borders: A 2017 juried exhibition of work by MCAD alumni, was presented by the MCAD Alumni Board.

“A border may be metaphorical, symbolic and definitional. A border may also be literal, material and tangible. Intimately, borders are a constant in the practice and process of an artist. Globally, borders impact us as citizens, visitors, travelers and transient humans. Current events lend a moment in which the contemplation of ‘borders’ both symbolic and literal can bring various perspectives and ideas together on common ground. The MCAD alumni board invited the far-reaching community of MCAD alumni to submit work in response to this broad but poignant theme.”

Participating MFA alumni include: Hend Al-Mansour, MFA ’02; Nick Kovatch, MFA ’13; Shiraz Mukarram, MFA ’17; Emmett Ramstad, MFA ’07; and Megan Vossler, MFA ’02.
