WORDS OF ADVICE Curated by Megan Hickins From the Art Department
“Being an artist takes a lot of hu stle. No one ever hands yo u a paycheck or an opportunity to show your work without you making your own opportun ities first. Bein g a professional artist is also being a business person and, in a lot of respects, is a way harder profession than being in STEM . So, if you’re looking fo r something crea tive and rewarding you’ve found it; but, if you’re looking for someth ing chill–keep lo oking.”
