The Essentials of Arts Journalism

Catalog description

The summer is the perfect time to explore the rich cultural offerings of Providence and the wider region – from the RISD Museum to DIY spaces, MIT’s Poetic Justice Project and the many festivals in Massachusetts. This course is an opportunity to approach this artistic scene with the eye and mind of a critic, interviewing musicians, architects, writers and makers, writing reviews and profiles, and recording short audio and video stories. This practice will help you excel in your work as a student and professional in the arts, the media and entertainment. And it’ll be a fun way to know your city and area better, meet new people and bond with fellow students.
