SMFA & Tufts: Art Resources for Creative Careers - PART 3 - Arts Education

SMFA Joining Tufts: Combine Art and Education

Thank you to those who have been following the past two blogs for The SMFA Joining Tufts.

This is the last blog of the three-series blog posts. As a recap, our first blog was on Job and Internship Resources for the Creative Industries, and our second post in the series was on Residences. This last blog is on Jobs and Internships for Arts in Education and in Museums. Besides these wonderful resources, the Tufts Career Center can be another useful tool in your career development. Just call to schedule an appointment with an advisor to work on your resume, cover letter, interviewing preparation or networking skills! Learn more about upcoming career fairs. Drop-in hours will become available again when the fall semester starts.

For those who are looking into education with your arts major, use the job search tool in the resources below. Read about the research performed on the impact of arts on education.

SMFA & Tufts: Art Resources for Creative Careers - PART 2 - Artists' Residencies

Hello again!

For starters, if anyone is new to this series of Creative Career Resources, I just wanted to let you know that our previous blog was on the Creative Job Search. This time, this blog features resources for Residencies.

Artists' residencies provide time and space for creative work. They foster diverse, creative communities through different styles of support. Residencies can be rural or urban, international or national, and can range from serving one person to fifty!
