Remember, MCAD will help with submission fees so apply for shows, print out a receipt, and if you are in the main building you can drop it off with Kristin or I can take it over for you. It takes a bit to get the money back but it's a heck of a lot better than paying for it all yourself!

New Blog New Year

Since the grad program now has a grad assistant we thought it would be fun to put together a blog with info and inside tips. This will be a place to address questions for incoming students, keep up with shows/openings, get to know the surrounding area, and see what you fellow grads are up to. We would love involvement in this project so if you have any tips or would like to blog about something let me (Mary) know!
