“This group of students has demonstrated a remarkable commitment to their creative and intellectual transformation over the last two years, and they have earned their Master’s degrees in a period unlike any other in MassArt’s history,” notes MassArt Dean of Graduate Studies Lucinda Bliss. Working in a range of media, 2020 students explored new ways to create and interact with their audiences and communities. Curator Nettrice R. Gaskins notes: “Artists in this year’s Low Residency Master of Fine Arts virtual thesis exhibition show how they’ve addressed some of the challenges of this pivotal moment in U.S. history.”

MassArt’s Low Residency MFA program offers artists and educators a 60-credit terminal degree, earned in two academic years and three summer residencies on the MassArt campus in Boston’s arts district.
