Among the first low residency MFA programs in the country, MECA’s MFA is distinguished by two eight-week summer intensives in Maine, a rigorous curriculum, and exceptional commitment to one-on-one student mentoring by distinguished core faculty, carefully selected studio advisors, and nationally and internationally known visiting artists, critics, and curators. Designed for experienced artists who want to maintain their ongoing careers while earning an MFA, our Low Residency track enables students to have a studio anywhere in the world. With periods of on- and off-campus study, our two-year trimester curriculum emphasizes the intersection of studio production, individual research, critical analysis, and travel to inspiring and important cultural sites. From the first moment of your first eight-week summer intensive in Maine, you experience a truly individualized education and focus on becoming inventive, skilled, engaged makers in the world and in your own communities.
Graduate Studies at MECA offers a dynamic and supportive learning environment for artists who want to define and pursue an attainable and sustainable vision for their own art practice.
