The faculty walkthrough is an annual event at CalArts where most members of the Art Program faculty gather on a single day and go from studio to studio, touring the studios of all the newly accepted MFA candidates. It is an all day event and each student is given 15 minutes to introduce themselves to the faculty and receive feedback of their recent works. When the faculty arrived at my studio, they were asked to take a seat and pull from a lottery. Two members of the faculty each won a 15 minute chair massage and while the two received their massages, I asked the remaining faculty to ask any questions they might have.
