Gabriel Saloman Mindel / Visiting MFA Faculty / MCAD

I am proud to announce that I have been hired as a Visiting MFA Faculty (2024-2027) at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

Situated within Minneapolis’s vibrant art-and-design scene, MCAD’s Master of Fine Arts in Visual Studies is a rigorous four-semester program designed to expand students’ thinking and promote experimentation in their practice. Students are invited to be strongly self-directed and highly motivated as they set personalized goals and plans to guide each semester in collaboration with their chosen mentor.

As a diverse, international community of makers, thinkers, researchers, and professionals, students explore social, cultural, and professional needs stretching across creative practices. Students are encouraged and supported in exploring wide-ranging processes and histories via rigorous studio practice, individual mentorship, and intense interdisciplinary discourse. All of our in-person, on-campus classes provide accessibility options to our students.

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
