Autumn Star Chacon Concludes Geoffrey & Margaret Andrew Fellowship



On the week of September 18, we were pleased to receive Autumn Star Chacon to the department for a one-week in-person intensive to conclude her Geoffrey & Margaret Andrew Fellowship. 

Based from a pop-up studio in the Audain Art Centre, Autumn conducted studio visits, a contact mic workshop in a fourth-year studio course, visited the MFA seminar, and foraged from the MFA lounge fridge for materials for her performance in the AHVA Gallery. A big thank-you to our faculty, students, and staff for attending the welcome luncheon and to the community present for Autumn’s performance at the AHVA Gallery.
