The Apocalypse of Prince

Good afternoon!
This Sunday, September 13, we will be performing some firmware and system software updates on a number of network switches across our infrastructure.
This will be disruptive in regard to service access during the outage window, and will affect all of MCAD's campus.
Date: Sunday, September 13, 2026
Time: 8:00 a.m. start
Estimated End Time: 11:00 a.m.

UPCYCLED FILMS will be collaborating with NOWNESS, on a curatorial project, to promote our new film platform.
UPCYCLED FILMS will be an online, film programming platform that restores and revives old and lost short films from around the globe. I’m essentially providing access to vintage films that have not been seen by a wider audience. The solution is to highlight films from the Global South, Indigenous peoples worldwide, under-resourced communities, and films, overall, that have a potent, visual language made pre 2010s.

Carry van Biema’s Nine-Part Color Triangle and the Question of the Missing Attribution by Josef Albers

Dear MCAD Students,
I’m pleased to open the eighth annual Presidential Correspondence Award Competition. I encourage you to participate in this year’s round of submissions.
This competition is a chance to have your work featured on MCAD notecards, which I use throughout the year to stay in touch with colleagues, supporters, and partners. It is a great opportunity to have your work shared with a wide audience. I know the recipients appreciate receiving great examples of the creativity that takes place on campus.
