SCAD deFINE ART professional practices panel: Working in an artist studio

At this year’s SCAD deFINE ART professional practices panel, hear from SCAD graduates excelling in the dynamic, high-level studio environments of today’s most influential artists. This conversation offers invaluable insight into the practical and professional skills required to succeed in a studio environment, such as archiving, budgeting, project coordination, and day-to-day studio operations.

Beyond logistics, the alumni panelists will also speak to how working closely with established artists can deeply inform and inspire your own creative practice. Learn how mentorship, exposure to new materials and methods, and the rhythms of a professional studio can shape your artistic voice and career path. Whether you aspire to join an established artist’s thriving studio or to lead your own team, this panel is a vital opportunity to understand the real-world experiences that bridge education and professional practice.
