As MFA students at MCAD, we have the opportunity to invite amazing artists from all over the world into our studios. Recently, MFA candidate Bo Young An '22 met with alum Jacob Yeates'17

Jacob has been featured in numerous magazines and exhibitions, such as the Society of Illustrators Los Angeles. He has been teaching as adjunct faculty at MCAD since 2017.

Later this summer, with the funding assistance provided by the 2020 Minnesota State Arts Board’s Artist Initiative Grant, he will be exhibiting excerpts of his first long-form graphic novel, "Violent Order, Lawful Harm," a nonfiction, visual history addressing and critiquing the legacies of U.S. law enforcement.

A big thank you to Jacob for meeting with our candidates!
