Professional Artist's Portfolio and Exhibition Experience

Catalog description

The Professional Artist’s Portfolio and Exhibition Experience course is for any student that has developed a collection of artworks or creative artifacts, and wishes to participate in a professional-quality group exhibition that celebrates their creative vision. Students will think critically and deeply about all aspects of their creative work through a variety of conceptual, historical and cultural lenses, and develop a portfolio of documents appropriate to advance them to the next stage of their creative career while developing the exhibition. The course culminates knowledge gained throughout the undergraduate experience with the creation of an individual professional artist's portfolio, and participation in the student-initiated professional quality exhibition in the Hiestand Galleries. Scheduled meetings and critiques with art professionals and faculty mentors in the Studio Art areas support ongoing research in the field of visual art. The final exhibition is open to the public, includes broad promotion of the exhibition, and a public reception for the participating artists. SC.
