Over 100 artists in SMFA's Master of Fine Arts program will hold their second annual Grad Open Studios event, March 2 + 3, 6–9 pm.

The vast array of work on display by students from all over the United States and abroad creates a unique chance to see inside the daily life of an MFA student. SMFA has a reputation for encouraging exploration and innovation within an interdisciplinary practice, and this group of students demonstrates the actualization of that credo. Artists will be installing works that range from painting, sculpture, video, film, sound, animation, ceramics, jewelry, printmaking, photography, performance and textiles for this two-day show in the Mission Hill studio building. SMFA has operated this building as studios for MFA candidates for many years, yet this is only the second time in recent history that students have organized an event of this magnitude for the public. Artists will be working in the space without any restrictions on theme, media or content. This is a rare opportunity to see these artists at work, so show up early and spend some time at SMFA.

SMFA Open Studios aims to facilitate relationships between artists and the public in Boston by providing an open format for locally organized art exhibitions on a large scale. SMFA Grad Open Studios is not-for-profit, volunteer artist organized event; it is free and open to the general public.
