Events & Information Sessions

Lightning Talks

  • Lightning Talks is an annual Graduate event at MassArt x SoWa. Current graduate students, grad alumni, and faculty are invited to share work via these fast-paced presentations that follow the format of 20 slides per presenter, shown for 20 seconds each.

This event, open to newly-admitted graduate students, is an opportunity to connect with current MassArt grad students, faculty, staff, and alumni from across the college’s graduate programs in fine art and design. The Lightning Talks provide a sense of the college’s graduate community and the work of our current students, faculty, and alums.
