Carly Haack is a junior at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, expecting to graduate in the spring of 2018 with a BFA in Painting. She grew up on a farm in rural Wisconsin. During high school she gained experience mentoring youth through 4-H programs, working primarily with elementary and middle school age children. Additionally, she was an assistant coach for a middle school softball team. Her art practice is based around painting, but she also works with video, comics, and printmaking. It is very important to Carly as a teaching artist to facilitate a strong and accessible arts community for youth, whether that is through classes, after school programs, camps, or workshops.
