Mountainview MFA Alumni Retreat 2025
We held the first Mountainview MFA Alumni Retreat at the Mountain View Grand Resort & Spa in Whitefield, NH.
An inspiring five-day, four-night event filled with community, craft workshops with Jo Knowles, Dave Moloney, and Nadia Owusu, one-on-one sessions with Lauren Liebow from Aevitas Creative Management and an author talk with Morgan Talty.
