Professional Practices will provide you with tools, resources, and experience that will help
you to continue making your work outside of an institution. With this established as the most
important aspect of being a professional artist, the seminar will provide a body of practical
information to support your art making. The course is organized around a series of topics accompanied by workshops, discussions, informal presentations,
readings, and field trips. Throughout the semester, we will have the opportunity to meet and
interview a range of art professionals, including curators and gallerists, graduate students, and other artists.
