Visual Arts in Practice will host their annual Open Studios event from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 7 in Richards Hall and Woods Art Building. The event is free and open to the public.
During the event, 18 graduate students from the Master of Fine Arts program in the School of Art, Art History and Design will open their studios to the public.
Open studios is a chance for the community to get to know the graduate cohort’s creative endeavors, see behind the scenes and engage in meaningful conversations.
A raffle will be offered as part of the event. Each participating graduate student will have a piece of work donated to the raffle. These works will be displayed in the open crit space on the second floor of Richards Hall, and the public will have the chance of winning one of the works.
Tickets for the raffle are $1 (cash only), and the winners will be announced at 7:30 p.m. in the open crit space. Winners need not be present to win. The purchase of these tickets allows Visual Arts in Practice to offer communal events throughout the year.
