ART 6100

Professional Practice and Field Work in Contemporary Art

Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2024-2025.

This required graduate course will focus on developing each student's individual needs in preparation for a life-long artistic and professional practice. We will workshop artist statements, grant and residency proposals and hone writing skills with emphasis on both professional and creative modalities. In addition to one-on-one meetings and studio visits, the graduates will meet as a group to develop and cultivate our community with activities such as field trips to NYC to visit artist studios, galleries and museums; and other art destinations. We will write the press release for the show, establish a title and theme, work with the gallery on social media publicity and outreach, design a poster/flyer and all other aspects of curating/installing and publicizing an art exhibit. A final deliverable for this class is a group show in NYC.
