2013 MFA Arts Leadership Summary Presentations: 
Come see the “capstone” of the Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program.  This is an opportunity to see how students have applied their curriculum and practicum expereinces to a management issue a nonprofit arts organization is experiencing.  If history serves as an indicator, you can expect to see a great variety of projects.  Some past projects have played a role in getting organizations like Seattle Artthrob and Sprout started.  Others have laid the groundwork to bring an event, like the Seattle Fringe Festival back to life.  We hope to see you there!   
Thursday, June 13, 6:00-9:00pm Casey Commons and
Saturday, June15, 10:00am-5:00pm Pigott 103
