EVENTS
ALUMNI
Our graduates are known both locally and internationally for their boundless ingenuity and intense curiosity. Alumni go on to have incredible careers—within and beyond the art world—as artists, entrepreneurs, teachers, administrators, academics, and creative professionals. Their paths may be different but there is one thing they all share, their lives were shaped by their time at NSCAD.
Kim Hastreiter and the Art of Reinvention
NSCAD alumna and co-founder of PAPER magazine, Kim Hastreiter (BFA 1974) has spent a lifetime defying labels.
As an artist, publisher, journalist, cultural tastemaker, fundraiser, gardener, chef, collector, and curator, the New York icon has remained true to the creative mindset she developed at NSCAD University.
That mindset has led to Hastreiter’s lifelong fascination with objects, ideas and creative communities—the subject of her recent book, STUFF: A New York Life of Cultural Chaos. Spanning 50 years and more than 450 pages, the book brings together stories, photographs and artifacts collected over decades in New York.
