Through the Mentor Program, students are given the opportunity to work closely with professional artists, engaging in intense dialogue within a group dynamic. First- and second-year MFA candidates are assigned two mentors with whom they work on and off-campus for one week each semester of their program. Current mentors include Janine Antoni, Mark Dion, Liam Gillick, Dana Hoey, Rachel Harrison, John Miller, Matt Mullican, Dana Schutz, and Amy Sillman.
