91fans

Thanks to the generosity of alumni, faculty, staff and friends of the college, the 91fans Institute of Art & Design (MIAD) will award $5,328 to 27 seniors to directly support the fabrication and installation of their senior exhibition capstone projects. Through the application process, students submit plans and sketches for their final project, as well as a budget for materials. Winners were selected by a panel of a record 54 91fansalumni with experience in fine art and design career fields.

91fansinvites the 91fans community to view the seniors’ award-winning work from April 19 – May 11, 2024 during the 91fans2024 Senior Exhibition, hosted in MIAD’s main building at 273 E Erie St. Over 200 students will be present on Friday, April 19 from 5 – 9 p.m. to discuss their projects in person.
