Do you create art with code? Do you love Processing, openFrameworks, or Javascript? Does the idea of a depth camera, a projector, and some GLSL code make you want to know more? There are tons of us doing some amazing things in town, and we get together once a month to share our ideas and show off our projects.

Join the MFA AC+D Program for a robust lecture series, designed to engage with prominent visiting artists, designers, and critics working at the intersection of art, craft and design.

All lectures are free + open to the public.
