Neighbors invited to MICA Weekend reception for new president

MICA President Cecilia McCormick

If you live or work in Bolton Hill, you’re invited to MICA’s Weekend Kickoff reception to meet the school’s new president, Cecilia McCormick, at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 27 at Lazarus Center, 131 W North Ave.

“Since being named president, Cecilia has truly valued the important relationship between the college and its partners and would love to take the opportunity to meet and discuss MICA’s present and future with all of you,” said Sara Warren, MICA’s Associate Vice President for Advancement & Leadership Gifts.

Along with MICA’s first female president, the event will showcase Bill Gaskins’ Black History Month introduced by McCormick. His exhibition features 30 black-and-white photographs with scrambled, backwards text, creating interactive puzzles for viewers. 

MICA Weekend is a celebration of  the college, its history, students, parents, alumni and business partners. Through their collected efforts, MICA offers more distinctive opportunities to artists, which set the school apart as an institutional leader, Warren said. “MICA is incredibly proud of the strong relationships with our local community partners, and we hope you will join us so we can celebrate as one.”
