Ada Medina, Cory Arcangel, and George Krause will be coming to MIAD this year, supported by the Ello & Guido Brink Fund for the Support of Multidisciplinary Art.
The goal of the Ello & Guido Brink Fund for the Support of Multidisciplinary Art is to integrate the various fine arts mediums and incorporate new technologies into the arts.
