Dear Students, Staff, and Faculty,

We appreciate your cooperation throughout today as we have been navigating the ever-changing, stressful aftermath of this morning’s fatal shooting near campus.

After reviewing the latest information, we have made the decision to lift MCAD’s shelter-in-place. That said, we encourage you to stay home if possible. There is currently a 36-block safety zone established by the Minnesota Guard to maintain Whittier area safety for residents, workers, and essential needs only. 

We will send updates as needed. Thank you for your continued support of your fellow MCAD community members. We are proud of the care that everyone has shown throughout this terrible day.

Sincerely,

Gwen

Highlights include Calls for Art for visual, design and sculpture art, a Residency for emerging artists, Internships, Twin Cities Museum job opportunities, plus events with WEBTOON!

Dear MCAD Community,

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Diana Green, Distinguished Adjunct faculty in Liberal Arts, passed away suddenly this past weekend. An alumna of 1999 (BFA, Comic Book Illustration), Diana taught across MCAD's Liberal Arts, Design, Foundations, and Continuing Education departments. She was a gracious teacher and mentor to her students, a generously collaborative peer, and a passionate advocate for her community.
