In field trips to galleries, studios and non-profits, students will see theory in practice. They will be expected to prepare verbal reports; develop a personal file of shows, galleries, grants and groups specific to their careers; and prepare a presentation package that includes an electronic portfolio, and will be the basis for what they show to galleries or use when applying for grants or graduate school.
