Recent graduate, Liz Sultzer ’12, has been accepted into the School of Visual Art’s (SVA) MFA Art Criticism and Writing Program!

I’m so excited about this opportunity, and it could not have happened without Montserrat.” – Liz Sultzer ’13

The MFA program in Art Criticism & Writing is one of the only graduate writing programs in the world that focuses specifically on criticism. This program is not involved in “discourse production” or the prevarications of curatorial rhetoric, but rather in the practice of criticism writ large, aspiring to literature. – SVA

Congratulations, Liz!
