Skilled artists find job options in virtually every field where goods or services are present. For the artist producing works of fine art, practicing his or her craft is of first and foremost importance. Fine artists too find art-related positions which complement their studio production. Some fine artists pursue graduate programs in art and then a position as a university art professor, an art critic, a conservator or restorer, an art therapist, or another art occupation. Very good, if you are prepared.
Artists are in constant demand for their creativity and manual skills.
Artists who are skilled, productive, and inventive will find jobs in, or related to, their field of study. More recently, computer skills have increased the career options for artists. Adaptability and versatility are two very important qualities to beginning a successful career in art. At Shippensburg, we think internships are vital to the success of an art major. Internships help students gain valuable experience they need to land an entry-level position.
