The contemporary art world can be a daunting scene, but it doesn't have to be! We want to build a community of peers to engage with the issues we are facing as emerging artists. We define the type of future we want for ourselves. Stay tuned for events.

Our goal is to tighten the artistic community at USC by providing opportunities to expand our artistic horizon as well as giving back to the community. Exploring art outside the classroom setting is essential for anyone planning a future in the art world.

A few of our activities include: Sketch crawls (LA Zoo, LA County Fair, Griffith Park, Museum of Jurassic Technology, Natural History Museum etc) Museum visits Community service projects (Mural projects, Book Drive, Holiday Card fundraisers) Lecture series (get to know the Dean and the Professors)

We plan at least three events a month. Meet in Watt 107 when notified via email.
