“During my time at PCA&D, I really appreciated that our instructors were working artists themselves. Their real-world experiences were so valuable in helping to teach us how to continue to pursue art outside of the college atmosphere post graduation. I also learned that the creative process is time consuming, but by coming back to a project daily it will develop and reach a ‘finished’ point. This is a very valuable lesson that carries through to being a working professional. Your career itself is a constant work in progress, so discipline, diligence and dedication are so important. Practicing this during your time at PCA&D will be so helpful when you are a working professional.”
