Carmen Ribaudo, MFA ’25, named Post-MFA Studio Fellow

Artist Carmen Ribaudo, MFA ’25, has been named the Sam Fox School’s Post-MFA Studio Fellow for 2025-26. Now in its third year, the fellowship offers a recent alum the opportunity to work independently within the MFA in Visual Art program — advancing their creative practice while also contributing in ambassadorial and pedagogical roles.

Ribaudo has several plans for the fellowship, ranging from organizing networking events for MFA students, leading workshops, and making a sand animation on the Mississippi River — a project which she noted will benefit from her ongoing connection to the school’s making spaces and Office for Socially Engaged Practice. Outside of the fellowship, she will also teach a studio art course this fall.
