Every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information contained in this Columbia College Chicago Catalog; however, the Catalog is not a contract but rather a guide for the convenience of students. Columbia College Chicago reserves the right to change or withdraw courses; to change the fees, rules, and calendar for admission, registration, instruction, and graduation; and to change any of its policies or other provisions listed in the Catalog at any time.
This course involves weekly (1 hr 50 minute) sessions throughout the semester and required attendance at the weekend-long “Artists & Audiences: Voices from the Field” seminar. The weekly sessions will create a cohort of young artists who interact together, read and analyze critical current, relevant documents from the field, and conduct (in writing and through oral presentation) case studies on working artists and cultural workers. Students are also required to develop and present a self-reflective “artist manifesto” or artist statement that reflects their identity, intentions and inquiry as they move into the workplace. All activities will be aimed at supporting their entry into post-undergraduate, professional life.
