Parsons’s 47 graduate students will open their creative spaces to the public and be available to answer questions and discuss their work. Open studios provides a rare opportunity for visitors to view works in progress and meet the artists in an informal setting. Visitors will gain insight into the diverse practices within the school’s studio art program, which embraces interdisciplinary experimentation, intellectual rigor, and innovation.
