The Daily Bruin

Do you get tired of people questioning what you can do with an art degree? Have you ever been labeled a “starving artist”? Want to learn how to connect with professionals in your field?

Come to the Department of Art and Design networking event prep tomorrow night (Tuesday) from 6 to 8 p.m. in Lemmons 8. Learn about the industry clusters in your art field and what amazing opportunities are available to you!

This event prep is part of Ameena Bossier’s Senior Thesis for Studio Art. This is a “good standing” activity and all majors should attend if possible. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact Ameena directly via email at abossier11@georgefox.edu.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you there!
