The New Millenium Artist: A Visit with Erik Qualman
Thursday, February 23rd, 2012 5-6 PM
Room 500

It’s no secret that the Internet is changing the way artists connect with each other.  Between Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr, sharing your work with millions of  people is as easy as a few clicks.  We’ve invited Erik Qualman, bestselling author of Socialnomics: How Social Media transforms the way we live and do business, to speak about the ways that artists can use these digital tools to promote themselves to a wider audience.

 

Project CFA: A Weekend of Collaborative Arts
Saturday, March 24th
All Day

Being an artist in the new millennium often involves collaboration, resourcefulness, and a lot of technical savvy.  For Project CFA, students from each school will work in teams of three to conceptualize, film, and produce a video.  The videos from each team will be juried by a selection of faculty members, and the top three videos will be featured on the website.
