Tosa West hosted an Art Careers and College Day on Wednesday to expose students to careers and opportunities associated with visual art. Tosa West graduates currently working in art and design fields participated in a panel to share their personal paths to their careers in art. Current Tosa West senior, Felix Bucaro, also shared his journey, which led him to an internship with Harley-Davidson, opportunities with GM, and more.
AP art students also had the opportunity to learn about pursuing college options and receive portfolio reviews from representatives from UW-Milwaukee, MIAD, UW-Madison, the Kansas City Art Institute, and the University of Michigan.
THANK YOU to all of the panelists and presenters who took the time to share their stories and inspire our young artists!
