Moderators: Colleen Asper and Jennifer Dudley, AdHocVox What is the value of an MFA in a recessionary climate? Have the programs transformed over time? Is an MFA still relevant? How do the programs relate to a student or artists' individualism or creativity, and is it really worth all the debt? Panelists will discuss these questions and others, as well as how the rise of residency and alternative education programs, with their wide range of valuable and varied opportunities, play into or affect the value of traditional MFA programs.
