Looking back on my years growing up in this

part of Ohio, I carry a profound fondness for all the people and places that make it so uniquely special. I will forever owe a debt of gratitude to this entire community full of family, friends, teachers and coaches, who helped open so many doors of opportunity along the way. That said, it means the world to me that I can come back to Orrville today and start to repay that debt forward...

In 2013, my wife Mandy and I tragically lost our son Carter Aiden Winget at 38 weeks gestation and delivered him still-born. While our little boy never had the chance to live-out his calling here on this Earth, it is important to us that his legacy be celebrated and carried-on through positive initiatives like chARTer. Thanks to the generosity of many in the wake of our tragedy, the Carter Aiden Winget Memorial Foundation was developed with the mission of helping creative-minded young adults like yourselves to uncover the exciting world of opportunity lying just ahead.

Seven months after chARTer’s successful launch in 2014, cofounder and my Father Morgan Winget Jr. succumbed to a massive heart attack while exercising at the Orrville YMCA. Only 67 at the time of his abrupt death, the void he left is one that can never be filled. Knowing how passionate my Dad was about chARTer and a host of educational initiatives he supported, we are putting on the program as a tribute to his loving and ever-lasting legacy as well.

Over the course of the day, you will have the opportunity to learn from, be inspired by, and interact with successful professionals from a broad range of creative fields who have taken time from their busy careers to beOwith FR N Tyou today. My hope is that you will take full advantage of this opportunity to garner insights from these pros who have already walked a mile down the same road which you are about to embark on. Be inquisitive, open your mind up to the possibilities, get inspired and most importantly, have fun...

PANELIST

Kyle is an Architectural Designer for DLR Group - Westlake Reed Leskosky in Cleveland, OH. He works primarily on projects in the cultural, community, and performing arts sectors. Before going to Cleveland, he worked at a number of firms including an office in Ljubljana, Slovenia. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning and his masters degree in Architecture from the Knowlton School at The Ohio State University. While in school, Kyle cofounded the architectural research and competition platform arch out loud. With arch out loud, he has designed various architectural competitions around the world including a vertical cemetery in Tokyo, an underground bathhouse in the Korean DMZ and a public square to stop human trafficking in Tenancingo, Mexico. He is currently part of a team putting together a publication examining the current trends between death and architecture. Underlying many of Kyle’s interests and endeavors is the idea of architecture being used as a political instrument. His projects have investigated the ways mediums of form and space can communicate messages and connect people to their surrounding contexts. He believes a crossdisciplinary infusion of building and landscape is a key way to approach this dimension of architecture.

QUESTIONS FOR KYLE

Margaret is an

PANELIST

illustrator and fine artist working in the Wooster area. She attended The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA, earning a BFA in illustration. Margaret started her career as a creative director at a small advertising agency, also near Philadelphia. This position gave her the chance to work on a wide variety of assignments. In the early days, her work centered on newspaper ads, brochures and corporate reports. Her job provided the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects; including voicing radio ads and designing trade show booths. She began freelancing in the 1990’s. Over time, she found assignments illustrating for the childrens educational and editorial markets. Margaret was the featured artist for Mailbox Magazine for five years, painting over 160 covers. She painted historical non-fiction and fiction for educational markets. Locally, Margaret illustrated the childrens picture book “The View From Under The Pew” by Rev. Diane Johnson. Margaret received her MA in Illustration from Syracuse University in 2005 and her MFA in Illustration from Hartford Art School in 2010.

More recently, Margaret has turned to fine art. She works predominantly in oils, painting equine subject matter.

The beauty, strength and grace of the equine form have been a source of inspiration for as long as she can remember.

Horses, people, and the landscapes around them are the subjects that drive her visually and inspire her artwork.

Her aim is to capture their actions, story, emotions and unique personalities. These pictures tell a story of the horses’ plight, sometimes positive, sometimes sad. Her work depicts both historical and present day scenes.

Margaret’s work has been exhibited in venues throughout Ohio and the east coast, and she is a juried member of Women Artists of the West and The American Academy of Equine Art.

PANELIST

for the passionately in love who specializes in wedding, elopement and love story documentary photojournalism.

Tessa graduated from Orrville High School in 2013 and pursued photojournalism at the Scripps College of Communication at Ohio University. She worked for WOUB Public Media, The Post, and the Ohio University Division of Student Affairs in multiple mediums including photography, on-air broadcasting, and news reporting.

During that time, Tessa traveled to Santa Rosa de Copan, Copan, Honduras with Central American Medical Outreach and had a real taste of meaningful freelance photojournalism. After returning from that trip and completing half of her college career, Tessa soon realized that the path she was traveling through higher education was not the right option for her. Choosing to leave college before graduation, she soon after launched a career in wedding photography full-time.

Since launching her own business, Tessa N. Brediger Photography, Tessa has worked to create meaningful stories for the adventurous in love through photo journalistic wedding photography. She has worked in venues spanning from open fields and mountains to downtown ballrooms... while loving every second. Her clients include those of all ages and creeds spanning a multitude of locations. She believes that those who lose themselves in misty mountains, ever deeper waters and covered forests have the best stories to tell..that her job, the job of documenting others, is glorious and mysterious and fragile and meaningful and above all, infinite in beauty.

Tessa’s work has been featured on WOUB Public Media, the Post (Athens, Ohio), Southeast Ohio Magazine, LooksLikeFilm, SeekTheLight, the Babetown Collective, and the Photobug Community- a Junebug Weddings affiliate.

QUESTIONS FOR TESSA

Q&A WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR

18 YEAR-OLD SELF

LOOKING AHEAD TOWARDS COLLEGE AND A PROFESSIONAL CAREER?

JUSTIN

will ALWAYS have many, many things yet to learn.

You know that you have to actually pay for that right?

COLLEGE ISN'T FREE, so consider how

much you are spending/borrowing and how long that might take to repay.

CHRIS

LEARN ALL YOU CAN ABOUT ART, DESIGN AND BUSINESS, as they all go

hand in hand.

Continue to try new things and

NEVER BE COMFORTABLE. Not just in your field, but in every aspect of life.

MARGARET

Be proactive and seek out opportunities.

FIND MENTORS who are successful in the field which interests you and learn from them.

JASON

YOUR MOUNTAINS WILL BECOME MOLE HILLS OVER TIME. Seriously, stop and smell the flowers.

Practice compassion.

BE CONFIDENT ENOUGH TO ENVISION WHERE YOUR CREATIVE SUPERPOWERS MIGHT TAKE YOU, yet humble enough to know that you

KYLE

KEITH

Do not limit yourself creatively. You should be open to experimenting with as many different techniques

YOUR CREATIVE CAREER WILL LIKELY TAKE YOU DOWN MANY DIFFERENT PATHS AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW HOW TO ADAPT. and mediums as you can.

TESSA

YOU DON'T HAVE THE FOLLOW THE PATH OTHERS PAVED BEFORE YOU.

If college isn't your thing, there are plenty of ways to cultivate a passionate and successful career while taking an untraditional path to where you want to be.

I didn't finish college and I don't regret it. I did what was best for me and for my business.

WHERE DO YOU FIND

CREATIVE INSPIRATION?

KYLE

I always look outside the field I’m in and seek ideas or trends in music, fashion, science, art, film,

THE BEST DESIGNERS ARE THOSE WHO INTRODUCE EXTRA-DISCIPLINARY IDEAS philosophy, etc.

into architecture.

JUSTIN

With very little free time on my hands,

I TRY TO STAY WIDE-EYED AWARE AND OPEN TO INSPIRATION IN EVERY MOMENT. Often coming in the most unexpected times and places, I have iphone photo galleries filled with snaps of found textures, typography, design and immersive environments. I also love to get lost in the feeds of fellow creative bloggers and instagramers when finding a few moments of respite in coffee shop lines or as my head is finally hitting the pillow at the end of a long day.

GRANT

SURROUNDING MYSELF WITH OTHER CREATIVES helps build new ideas

and is a catalyst for creativity. I also enjoy traveling and partaking in new experiences to become inspired.

CHRIS

I STAY INSPIRED BY READING ABOUT ENTREPRENEURS AND ARTISTS. Their stories and creativity constantly feed my own work.

MARGARET

I collect books on art, artists, and how to make art.

I REFER TO MY LIBRARY WHEN I NEED A FRESH IDEA.

JASON

I become inspired by actively searching and studying what my artist/designer idols create. I love viewing what all my creative peers do daily. Honestly I DON’T always

THERE ARE SOME DAYS IT’S JUST HARD TO BE CREATIVE. stay inspired.

KEITH

IT’S IMPORTANT TO MAKE ART OUTSIDE OF CREATIVE JOB

where you can express yourself freely. This will give your professional work new life.

TESSA

Honestly, it’s hard to stay creative. There’s a continuous cycle of thinking my work is great and then thinking I should quit just about every week. I have to work past that and one of the best ways I’ve found to stay inspired and not bored with my work is to meet with other creatives. I go to workshops, meet ups, Instagram gatherings and other activities to talk with, work with and become friends with other creatives.

CULTIVATE A CREATIVE FAMILY. They’ll inspire and push you to be your best and to try new things.

Q&A WHAT CAN STUDENTS PROACTIVELY BE DOING NOW TO

START LEARNING THEIR CRAFT? Be a sponge and seek out as much experience, exposure and hands-on learning as you can right now. Online learning platforms such as Skillshare and Lynda.com are easy and inexpensive ways to start learning tricks of the trade from some of the best creative professionals out there. Also, sign-up for local foundation art classes at places like Wayne Center for the Arts and find ways to interact with creatives you admire, whether simply following them on social media platforms or even approaching them about immersion and/or mentorship opportunities.

Learn the ins and outs of a camera and exposing an image correctly. Master shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and frame rate; the things your iPhone takes for granted.

CHRIS

Take every art class and industrial tech class you can.

You may enjoy one over the other, but it’s important to have an understanding in both. Also, start sketching everything you see, from large scale buildings to small scale plants. It not only allows you to develop a hand skill, but also pushes you to think threedimensionally/spatially.

MARGARET

Be proactive by seeking out opportunities.

For future illustrators, developing drawing skills with daily practice is a must. It is also important to learn computer skills. Maximize the digital arts curriculum your high school offers.

JASON

JUSTIN

GRANT

KYLE

Read as much as possible about what motivates or inspires you and learn how you can start developing the skills needed to pursue your career path. Teach yourself as much as possible by taking risks and doing the work.

Read, research and create. Be open for advice/critiques and truly never stop doing what you love. If you approach your desired creative career with enthusiasm and openness , you will succeed

KEITH

No other generation has had so much information at their fingertips. Watch YouTube tutorials, take lessons, research and follow artists on Pinterest and Instagram.

Learn a new technique each week and don’t get too comfortable! Freelance now. Take on that logo job that doesn’t pay anything. Make free posters for the band coming to town. I learned so much from freelancing in high school and college. You learn how to work with a client, how to meet deadlines and how to conduct yourself professionally.

TESSA

Ask to have mentorships with the people you admire!

There are a ton of photographers who offer mentor sessions in person or through Skype if you’re too far away to talk about the good, the bad and the ugly of the craft. I’ve learned a ton, about both sides of the business, from asking questions with the people I admire.

It’s money well-spent.

WHERE IS YOUR CREATIVE DISCIPLINE HEADED

IN THE FUTURE?

KYLE

It seems inevitable that there will be a stronger connection between the development of architecture and computer technologies. A better understanding of computer coding, VR softwares, 3D printing and modeling programs will help develop new methodologies for advance the discipline of architecture.

MARGARET JUSTIN Creativity is no longer just a department within an organization that makes signs, creates presentations or takes pretty photos used in marketing materials. Instead creativity is being harnessed to solve complex problems across all aspects of business and break the status quo within industries. Proof-in-point, a recent Fast Company Magazine poll cited 60% of CEO’s value CREATIVITY as their most valued leadership quality in employees. From accountants to assembly line workers, companies today are both looking for and rewarding folks who consistently apply creative problem-solving skills to their jobs.

All that said, if you just want to make signs or take photos, get ready to think more broadly! The most successful creatives I know are whole brained thinkers who synthesize untethered creative thinking grounded by their really strong business chops.

GRANT

Cameras are now in everyones pocket, so it is your utilization of them which makes you stand out. The barrier for entry may be lower, but the same values will always hold true...practice and hard work will make you stand out amongst the rest.

CHRIS

By pursuing a career in fine arts or any creative field, you must also have business knowledge. Knowing how to market yourself and your work is most very important.

Digital technology is rapidly changing the creative marketplace. The traditional illustration market is smaller, much of it having moved to interactive and online formats. Despite this, understanding the concepts of good design and how to visually communicate an idea will always be important.

JASON

I see design helping transform the world into a better place for us all. The most important job skill I see is creativity, which I believe will continue to change the world.

KEITH

What I’ve learned from launching my own company is the importance of creative marketing. Being creative goes far beyond just making art. You can use your photography, typography, creative writing, animation, and video editing skills to get your work out there and noticed.

TESSA

As my business grows, so do the skills needed to keep it not only afloat, but enjoyable. Skills in finance and book keeping are some of the most important I have learned thus far. Also, time management is incredibly important.

During busy seasons, knowing how to answer emails, send off galleries to clients within their deadlines, make it to meetings/shoots on time and still remembering to sleep and eat and practice mental health is SO important.

Q&A TO BE SUCCESSFUL

IN YOUR DISCIPLINE, YOU NEED TO BE __________________________

KYLE Open minded to different perspectives and

INTERESTED IN JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING.

MARGARET

AN ENTREPRENEURIAL GO-GETTER. Identify the market

you want to approach and develop a consistent body of work that will appeal to art directors in that market. Using websites and social media, try marketing yourself online.

The old adage of 10,000 hours is a legit rule of thumb for mastering your craft, so be prepared to put in some serious work if you want to reap the rewards.

GRANT

ADAPTIVE. Technology is changing at a rapid rate

and new tools are continually becoming available. If you are set in your ways and don’t adapt, you will soon be phased out.

CHRIS

BEING CREATIVE AND ADAPTABLE TO WHAT YOUR CUSTOMERS WANT

is most important in selling artwork to the masses.

changing. You need to be willing and able to adapt quickly to stay relevant. Your schooling should never be over.

TESSA

DRIVEN. There have been a lot of times I’ve thought

about giving this job up for one reason or another, but at the end of the day, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. You need to be driven to reach out to clients, try new things and balance being the creative, finance, marketing and administrative team to your company all in one...

Being a small business owner is not for the faint of heart.

If you want to make it happen, you’ve got to work for it.

WHAT ARE THE

COOLEST PROJECTS

YOU HAVE WORKED ON?

KYLE

A theatre in Idaho, a childrens museum in Louisville, a landmark building in Oman, an aquarium in Detroit and

A NEW COLLEGIATE BASEBALL STADIUM.

BEATING CANCER.

KEITH

MY BOOK, ‘WHAT A MESS! A POP-UP MISADVENTURE’.

It is the longest I’ve ever spent on a single project (2 1/2 years) and it has been the most rewarding.

Seeing my vision come to life and be well-received has been amazing.

TESSA

I VOLUNTEERED WITH CAMO TO PHOTOGRAPH SURGERIES AND STORIES IN RURAL HONDURAS.

To this day, it was one of the most important stories I have told and the definitely one of the most rewarding.

In terms of everyday work, photographing a couples story on the most important day of their lives is rewarding EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Best job ever.

KYLE

I COULD HAVE BENEFITED FROM HAVING STRONGER MANUAL SKILLS such as sketching,

Fortunately I had an amazing commercial art program in my high school and came to college prepared on a computer skills level.

IN COLLEGE, NO ONE HOLDS YOUR HAND. No one checked to see if I wrote my papers or showing up to class. I didn’t HAVE to go every single class, and no one made sure I went... but man, there could be consequences to all of those actions.

WHAT WERE YOU

NOT PREPARED FOR STARTING YOUR CAREER?

KYLE

THE BUSINESS SIDE. An architect wears

many different hats and it’s hard to get that experience in the academic setting.

MARGARET JUSTIN

How messy, complex and exhausting a career would be...

Things did not come together as I’d envisioned being a bright-eyed, ambitious kid coming out of college looking to immediately parachute into my dream job. In-fact,

INSTEAD I LIVED AT HOME FOR SIX MONTHS BEFORE FINDING MY FIRST JOB AFTER COLLEGE,

worked a second part time job in addition to my entry level position in Chicago just to make ends meet and contemplated giving up on design several times during that grueling, unrewarding and frustrating first few years in the industry.

I have learned not to let the inevitable rough patches define my career by employing perseverance, a willingness to learn from my mistakes and focusing on the steadfast aspirations in front of me.

GRANT

THE BUSINESS SIDE OF THINGS.

CHRIS

THE AMOUNT OF WORK AND TIME IT TAKES TO START AND GROW A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS.

THE WIDE VARIETY OF ASSIGNMENTS. While starting out as an

One of the best things about photo classes in college is that you get critiqued pretty hard on your images.

Leaving school meant that I had to be my own editor on photos and sometimes that’s a really

Q&A WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BEST

COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TO LOOK AT WITH A FOCUS ON YOUR DISCIPLINE?

There are so many great schools out there, and

A CREATIVE DEGREE FROM ANYWHERE IS ONLY AS STRONG AS THE PORTFOLIO YOU TAKE AWAY FROM IT, WHICH IS ON YOU!

CHRIS

FIND ONE THAT OFFERS THE BEST PROGRAMS WITHIN YOUR FIELD OF INTEREST.

KYLE

I’m probably biased, but I think The Knowlton School at The Ohio State University has a lot of great opportunities and is a great deal for Ohio students. They bring in some of the most internationally renowned architects and theorists while the facilities are excellent. Some schools I admire at the national level are Sci Arc out of Los Angeles, Yale in New Haven, Rice in Houston, and The University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

Regionally - Bowling Green for digital arts and CCAD. Nationally- The University of the Arts, Syracuse University and Hartford Art School.

That said, regionally I’d recommend Bowling Green, Kent State, Ohio State and Cincinnati for balanced business and creative curriculums. Students looking for narrower, art-focused curriculums might look at CCAD, CIA, Cranbrook and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.

JASON

Nationally, there are strong programs at Stanford’s D-School, Rhode Island School of Design, Syracuse, The Academy of Art University and The Ringling College of Art and Design, among many others.

I’ve seen great work and talent coming from The Cleveland Institute of Art.

GRANT

While I never finished my degree with Ohio University, I cannot recommend a better school for photojournalism.

They are ranked nationally and internationally for their program, the professors, and the opportunities given to their students (photographing the World Cup in Brazil in 2014, working with the White House, study abroad programs in Scotland... the list goes on and on).

LAFilm, Loyola, Emerson, SCAD, Full-Sail.

The Ohio State University.

KYLE

I think some of the most inspiring and forward thinking firms and individuals are Thom Mayne (Morphosis), MOS, Liam Young, and Jimenez Lai. For inspiration I like to look to platforms such as DesignBoom, BLDGBLOG, the 99% Invisible podcast and @koozarch.

Art Chantry, Aaron Draplin, Paula Scher, Jessica Hische and Frank Kozi.

KEITH

Paper Engineering - Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart.

Some of my favorite Instagram artists: @britsketch @jean_jullien @jakeparker @draplin.

TESSA

The lookslikefilm group on Facebook and Instagram is so inspiring. They’re trend-setting photographers who focus on storytelling - it’s a great mix of love stories and photojournalism. There are a ton of inspiration photographers I love from all over the board: Ed Kashi, Hannah Spencer (Milk & Hannah), Eastlyn Bright Tolle + Joshua Tolle, Nicola Harger, Camille Lepage (deceased, but incredible legacy) and many more.

Q&A WHAT BOOKS

HAVE HELPED TO INSPIRE YOUR CAREER?

KYLE

1) Anyone entering a creative field should read the book, “Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite.”

2) The LOG publication brings together a great collection of short essays that always question the role and execution of architecture.

3) Books such as “Towards A New Architecture,” “Delirious New York,” and “Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture” have been good references and inspiration.

4) Publications that venture outside of my field such as “National Geographic,” “Scientific American,” and “Cereal” have also been good for me to keep an eye on.

MARGARET

JUSTIN

There are so many great books out there, but a few inspiring favorites would be: “Shoe Dog” by Nike Founder Phil Knight, “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey, “Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell, “Grit” by Angela Duckworth, “Designing your Life” by Bill Burnett, “A Whole New Mind” by Daniel Pink, “Never Eat Alone” by Keith Ferrazzi, “The Last Lecture” by Randy Pausch, “ReWork” by Jason Fried, “Do You Matter?” by Robert Brunner and “The Lighting Notebook”

by Kevin Kubota.

GRANT

I’m not much of a reader. Most of my learning and inspiration has come from the internet in either tutorial or blog form.

CHRIS

“Zero to One” by Peter Thiel, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen R. Covey, “The Power of Habit” by Charles Duhigg, “The Lean Startup” by Eric Ries and “ReWork” by Jason Fried .

“Imaginative Realism How To Paint What Doesn’t Exist” and “Color And Light, A Guide For The Realist Painter,” both by James Gurney are great resources for illustrators and animators.

JASON

“Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative,“ and “The Pocket Universal Principles of Design: 150 Essential Tools for Architects, Artists, Designers, Developers, Engineers, Inventors, and Makers.” Also volumes and volumes of blank sketch books!

KEITH

“Elements of Pop-Up” by David Carson.

TESSA

“Norwegian Wood” by Haruki Murakami, “The Journals of Sylvia Plath, The God of Small Things” by Arundhati Roy, and “A Writer’s Diary” by Virginia Woolfe.

IF YOU HAD A TIME MACHINE,

WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?

KYLE

I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKED TO HAVE TRAVELED TO MORE PLACES.

There is a massive world out there full of culture, something that lies at the core of architecture.

MARGARET JUSTIN

Given that it was not until college that I was able to envision my true career potential - I would have taken myself and my creative superpowers seriously from a much younger age...

I also would have increased my focus in college on related creative fields such as environmental branding, interior architecture, UX/UI design, cinematography, photography, motion graphics/animation, editorial design and writing/storytelling. With all of these disciplines generally falling under a Creative Director,

I DO NOT NEED TO KNOW EACH CREATIVE FIELD INSIDE AND OUT, BUT I DO NEED TO KNOW ENOUGH TO BE DANGEROUS and direct these inter-disciplinary teams towards a unified vision.

GRANT

I don’t know if I would change anything because things would probably look different. However, what I believe I am missing out on are the

CONNECTIONS ROOTED IN ATTENDING FILM SCHOOL.

CHRIS

I WOULD HAVE FOCUSED MORE ON BUSINESS and computer design in college.

I would have taken advantage of every opportunity my schools had to offer instead of only some.

I WISH I HAD ATTENDED EVERY ARTIST TALK AND GALLERY SHOW.

I would also have found mentors and sought out internship opportunities with them

JASON

NOTHING. NO REGRETS.

KEITH

There were a few jobs where I jumped right into creating art with little to no research. I look back at them now and think ‘what was I thinking?’

ALWAYS RESEARCH, ALWAYS REFERENCE AND DON’T ASSUME YOU KNOW THE ANSWER JUST ON GUT.

TESSA

NOTHING...BARELY ANYTHING IN MY ORIGINAL PLAN WORKED OUT,

but I wouldn’t change a thing. Not finishing my degree, starting my own business, preparing to move that business next year and every struggle I have faced from junior high onward made me who I am today and influenced the way I approach art. I would not change any of that for the world.

Q&A

MARGARET

WORK HARD, HAVE FUN, STAY OPEN-MINDED AND BE READY TO REINVENT YOURSELF A FEW TIMES along your artistic journey.

OH, AND

ONE LAST THING JUSTIN

JASON

NEVER FORGET WHERE YOU CAME FROM.

KEITH

PASSION- YOU DEFINITELY NEED TO HAVE PASSION FOR ART

“IF YOU LOVE WHAT YOU DO, YOU WILL NEVER WORK A DAY IN YOUR LIFE...”

to make it in this industry. Sounds silly to say, but I had a lot of friends drop out of college because it wasn’t at all what they expected. If art is your passion, you know it, and that will get you through the difficult times at school and in your career.

GRANT

TESSA

YOUR FUTURE IS DETERMINED

BY HOW BAD YOU WANT IT

...plus a little luck.

CHRIS

Keep your eyes open for opportunities.

NEVER BE AFRAID TO TRY. IT’S BETTER TO TRY AND FAIL THEN TO NEVER TRY AT ALL.

KYLE

FAIL MORE.

The more you fail, the more you try out, learn and end up successful.

BELIEVE IN YOUR GREATNESS.

There will be voices that tell you making a living in the arts is impossible, that you can’t be successful, and that you should give up. Ignore those voices and push right

EVEN WHEN YOU HAVE BAD DAYS, AND YOU WILL...

THE GOOD DAYS GREATLY OUTNUMBER THEM. YOU CAN DO IT. YOU ARE AMAZING. YOU ARE TALENTED. YOU’VE GOT THIS. GO CREATE SOMETHING AWESOME.

on past them.
