What are Professional Practices for Artists?

Artists today need all kinds of professional skills beyond their individual studio work. The Professional Practices for Artists series offers a range of workshops for fine artists focusing on pragmatic questions, from external communications to exhibition strategies. Workshops meet evenings and weekends on the UO main campus in Eugene.

Who can take these classes?

• Community members will have an opportunity to get to know the excellent faculty and facilities of the UO Department of Art.
