Careers in Fine Arts and Professional Resources

Students interested in pursuing careers in the fine arts often go on to pursue undergraduate and sometimes graduate majors in the disciplines.

Successful fine artists are often adventurous and entrepreneurial in spirit, often supporting their art-making careers with parallel work. Artists work as teachers in community programs or as administrators in galleries, museums, arts organizations, or schools.  Others work as studio assistants or apprentices to established professional artists. Some pursue art history degrees and become critics, curators, art publishers, or historians. Studio artists are often commissioned -- or receive grant support -- for special projects including portraiture, illustration work, public sculpture, billboard art, or mural installations. Others find work as art framers, space designers or in the fields of decorative and crafts arts.
