i actually like your web website. Its very informative. Goodbye!…

The good news is that we are now in the “conceptual economy” where creative content is the keys to the kingdom. Have your daughter read “A Whole New Mind” by Daniel Pink.”

Cheers,

This school is not necessarily all bad but it is suspect because there is no portfolio review process. So if you have the money your in. The art coalitions schools are incredibly expensive, this is true. So there’s the catch.

The best preparation is to first and foremost master an art craft and then intern with successful artists. And don’t forget that being an artist is being an entrepreneur, like it or not. I happen to like it and that helps me.

I hope this response helps you.

Kindly,

Ann

Do you really think this school is bad, or is it just the lack of business preparation? I suspect this is a common flaw, despite what lots of schools say. Placing interns in real jobs, like yours, is probably the best preparation they could have anyway. BTW, my daughter is interested in illustration, film-making and writing, not fine art. This makes it harder to find appropriate programs that aren’t either a: too expensive or b: too academically selective.

But be aware that they are currently not going to teach you what you need to know about the business of art.

Association of Independent Colleges of Art have a much better reputation but they too lack sufficient focus on business and marketing of art.
