ArtWalk Through the Years

A Look Back at 15 Years of ArtWalk

The ArtWalk Gala and weekend-long exhibition brings students, their family and friends, and art lovers from across the region to MICA's campus, which is transformed from one end to the other into a showcase of student art. This is the first time since 2019 that ArtWalk is fully open to the public! As we prepare for the ArtWalk 2023, here's a look back at scenes from past events.
