Katrin Laade has been an integral part of the program in Düsseldorf. Katrin has traveled with the grads to Amsterdam, Paris, and Wuppertal as well as a number of museums. Katrin has an extensive knowledge of art history and speaks multiple languages, and the grads have benefited from their time with Katrin. On top of all this, Katrin is a working artist and was generous enough to host a studio visit with some of the grad students.
