Professional Development Seminars
Fall 2010

These seminars are designed for full-time enrolled students, to help them prepare for life after school. During the fall 2010 semester, students will be introduced to valuable information that will help them navigate their place in the art world during and following their studies.

This year's series is structured from Jackie Battenfield's book, The Artist's Guide:  How to Make a Living Doing What You Love

Each seminar will cover one topic and include detailed information regarding that topic. Guest speakers from different backgrounds will also be invited to speak, when possible.
