During the summer of 2014 Jacob Hayes (MFA 2014), Erinn Heilman (MFA 2015), Nick Lepard (MFA 2015) and Sarah Schlesinger (MFA 2015, Fellow 2016) participated in a month-long Artist-in-Residence Program at Mimar Sinan University in Istanbul, Turkey.

This exhibition includes some of the work created during or attributed to their residency experience. The Academy’s Mimar Sinan University Residency has been made possible through the efforts of Mahmut Bozkurt, Erdal Kara, Ali Kerem Bilge, and Buket Atature (MFA 2012) as well as the New York Academy Travel Fund, the Villore Foundation.
