Join us for Brush, Book, and Stage: How Fine Arts Graduates Thrive in Any Field, a dynamic conference session showcasing alumni with Bachelor and Master of Fine Arts degrees who have carved unique career paths beyond the studio, gallery, and stage.
Through engaging discussions and Q&A sessions, these alumni will share how their artistic skills—creativity, adaptability, problem-solving, and visual storytelling—have shaped their success in unexpected industries. Whether they're leading innovation in tech, marketing, education, or business, their journeys highlight the versatility of an arts education.
Meet alumni in person and connect with others via Zoom to gain insight, inspiration, and practical advice on how your artistic background can be a powerful asset in any career.
