MIDPOINT is a gallery show featuring work from BSc & Ad alumni working for top agencies like Space150, Target, mono, FAME, and Wunderman!
This show is also an opportunity to bridge the gap between alumni and current students from the BSc and Advertising programs by inviting everyone to participate in mentoring events and agency tours.
Midpoint aims to increase the professional readiness of graduating students and to ignite alumni/student connection. Curated and designed by the collaborative efforts of current students and alumni,
Midpoint is a reinvention of the gallery show from its traditionally static form to a platform for fostering new relationships within the MCAD community at large.
Defining common ground.
