Events & Calendars Just Do It: Recent Amherst Grads on Making Art and Creative Practices an Essential Part of Life

This Loeb Center panel of young Amherst alumni working in the arts will offer timely advice and inspiration on making art a central part of your life and carving out the professional space to just do it. Panelists will explore what it’s like to build a creative practice after Amherst, personal growth and community building through artmaking, and the professionalization necessary to earn income from your craft. You’ll leave this session with a list of resources both on- and off-campus to support these practices.

Featuring:
• Joanna Booth ’19—visual art
• Amal Buford ’19—music
• Jonah Evans ’19—creative writing
