The program begins with a brief presentation by each artist from MAD's Artist Studios Program Cycle 26: Rachel Rader, Yoshi Minami, Lauren Skelly Bailey, Adam Ledford, Lucia Cuba, Ariel Jackson, and MAD's Van Lier Fellow Camille Hoffman. Each presentation provides an opportunity to encounter perspectives that examine critical issues in contemporary craft, art and design. Following the talk in the theater, artists and visitors will continue the conversation in the Artist Studios located on the 6th floor for a closing reception that features the work created in the studios. Please join us for this unique opportunity to converse with the artists about their studio practice.
