Employers value the experiential learning received by those with visual and performing arts degrees. Even if you don't choose an arts major, engagement in the arts is important for everyone.
Learn about Seattle's own Jacob Lawrence. One of the most influential artists of the 20th century.
<p>The Henry Art Gallery and the School of Art + Art History + Design have long partnered on educational projects. One of these is the Museum Guide Program and its internship course. Starting in autumn quarter, eight students joined program manager Berette Macaulay for weekly sessions that introduced the students to the work of contemporary art interpretation and community engagement within a museum setting. Due to the pandemic, classes were normally on Zoom, but they did manage one in-person outing in late October.
