Finals Ribbons of Survival
Not all wins are glamorous. Some look like making it to submission or keeping your file from crashing.
Here’s to the real achievements:
🥇 Autosave actually worked
🥇 Due at 11:59, done at 11:58
🥇 Running on vibes and caffeine
Tag someone who deserves a ribbon… or ten 🫠

POV: Your assignment involves molten metal.
Welcome to bronze casting at MCAD. Where your class casually looks like this. Students are hands-on with the process, experimenting and making art that goes way beyond the ordinary.
Creativity and big ideas come together in every pour. These are the kinds of experiences that make MCAD unique for students who want to create, explore, and push what's possible.
