So keep creating and check out some of these links below to get some tips on the professional side of being an artist!
Below I have listed several links that may help artists get on their feet in the professional world.

Calling all Sculptures!
One of the best parts of being a finalist in the AICUO Art Awards is the trophy you will receive if you make it to the final six nominees. These trophies are unique to each year, and designed by students at our participating institutions. Once the design has been picked, a local Columbus sculpture will work with the student to make their trophy idea come to life.
The Deadline will be sometime in October and we will have more information on that up here on the blog shortly when we get the rest of the details, but it never hurts to get the creative juices flowing early. Check out the Sculpture Competition of this blog to see previous awards and get some more details on what we may be looking for.
We are beginning our search for sculpture designs. BE CREATIVE! We have used glass, wood, metal, ceramics, everything you can think of in the past and we are looking for something new and exciting to present to our artists. If you are a student and have some great ideas, or a local artist interested in being the maker of these awards please feel free to contact the Art Award Coordinator at msoppelsa@aicuo.edu with your ideas or
