About the program:
The program invites professional guests from a variety of different art and design related disciplines to join us at the CEAD on a regularly scheduled basis for the course of the academic semester. We invite students to book a casual chat session with our residents to talk about their projects, goals and questions.
Sonia’s weekly office hours will be announced shortly after the meet & greet session after which you will have the opportunity to book an appointment with her during the semester. Stay tuned for more info!
