Description

Recent graduates Priscilla Walsh and Rozlin Opolka share their advice on navigating visual art school and the unique experiences of obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Art (BFA) degree. Hindsight is always 2020 with the twists and turns of higher education, especially when things seem arbitrary and not everyone understands the necessity of fine art. Rozlin and Priscilla share their own experiences to give context for future artists pursuing higher education and share a few laughs along the way. To all of the "Almosts" out there, keep Being Freakin' Awesome.
