This course focuses on developing the knowledge, skills, and abilities students must have to manage their career as an artist. Students will explore, identify, and reflect on the characteristics, personal skills, qualifications, financial planning, business preparation, and marketing skills needed to compete and be successful in this growing cultural-industries sector (content varies per term). Students will create an art portfolio, professional resume, tri-fold brochure, and business card. There are also group projects which exhibit and market students’ finished products.
