At Cranbrook Academy of Art, the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff, and guests always come first. We have continued to monitor the recommendations of the CDC and State of Michigan regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) and have taken proactive measures to keep our campus and students safe.
On March 16, Cranbrook Academy of Art moved to remote distance learning for the rest of the semester. Students will work with their Artists-in-Residence to complete their course work in a virtual environment.
We have made the difficult decision to cancel the traditional Graduate Degree Exhibition at Cranbrook Art Museum. We are working on a possible online exhibition, and details will be shared at a later date. We are also exploring if we are able to host a physical exhibition at a later date, to be determined. Students’ work will also be shared digitally through our Instagram and Twitter accounts. Please follow to see their work over the coming weeks and show your support during this difficult time.
Our role is to help our students develop as artists, designers, and architects, and we will not waver in that commitment. Our connections will continue online and in shared virtual spaces for now, but in time, they will move to shared physical spaces again. For those students who are graduating, we have offered assurances that they are still a part of the fabric of Cranbrook Academy of Art, with a network of alumni that spans generations who are all eager to help them get their start in the world.
