MICA captured 85 press clips in August, including significant coverage in local press (such as Maryland Life, Baltimore, Urbanite, Baltimore Business Journal and Baltimore Sun) as well as mentions in national arts magazines (such as Art in America) and national and international media (such as Parade magazine).

MICA's social media efforts expanded throughout the summer and grew to include 2,698 Facebook fans and 2,182 Twitter followers by the end of August. The Web traffic also increased 22 percent month-over-month from July. The most-visited story was, by far, the two MICA alumni who starred on Bravo's Work of Art show, as well as the announcement about the new Juxtapositions and the Parade magazine feature (see below).
