Every Thursday at 5pm, ARTNOIR invites artists to take over our IG and walk us through a studio tour with our live audience, giving us an in-depth look into their work as they narrate their journey and answer questions in a Q&A segment post-tour with our viewers. This gives viewers a chance to directly engage with artists in a distanced yet intimate way, see new and exclusive previews of artwork, and discover emerging artists amid the pandemic.

Since ARTNOIR’s inception, MFA field trips have been the pillar and original gathering spot for our community; exposing new arts patrons to the work of emerging artists, while supporting artists on their journey, giving love and encouragement always.  

While all grads experience a final semester closed to visitors, and graduations halted, we wanted to maintain tradition and bring us all back to where it started. We brought our community to the halls of the MFA programs featuring four students in Virtual Visits: MFA EDITION.
