Not only that...

I T’S GOO D FO R YOU!

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN…

Artmaking can reduce stress...

Increase self-reflection and self-awareness…

Alter behavior and thinking patterns…

Even normalize heart rate, blood pressure or cortisol levels.

NOT ONLY THAT…

But you also get to build skills and take things home…

Paintings, drawings, tableware, sandals, films, jewelry and more.

MAYBE BETTER THAN CHICKEN SOUP

Choose from over 100 classes in a variety of disciplines. Or look into one of our design certificate programs.

professional practice In today's economy, there are wide-ranging applications of art skills and art knowledge.

Professional Practice addresses skills related to art and business beyond the studio.

MICRO MBA FOR ARTISTS

APPRAISAL STUDIES

There is increasing recognition in the business world that companies that will thrive in the future are the ones that will innovate radically and approach challenges creatively. This course is geared to artists and designers who would like to develop skills in applying the creativity and mind set they nurtured and developed as an artist to the business realm.

MassArt is pleased to announce a new affiliation with the American Society of Appraisers. MassArt will offer the ASA series of valuation classes towards certification in personal property appraisal. Courses are open to students pursuing appraisal studies in all areas of valuation. Supplementary programming being developed by MassArt will be geared toward the appraisal and valuation of art and antiques.

Creative Continuum: Business And The Creative Process

Program Open House and Special Event

January 7–22, 2016

December 5, 2015, 2–5pm

Now in its sixth year, this unique collaborative effort between professors at MassArt and Bentley University offers participants an opportunity to engage in an intensive workshop that combines business education with the application for design thinking to business problems. Lectures and working sessions provide insight into the issues and functions of business and cover the topic areas of an MBA. Participants quickly learn fundamental principles of business and then, in smaller working sessions, put their creative skills and experience to use collaborating with representatives of select businesses, including Converse and others, on a real strategic business problem or challenge that they face.

To inaugurate this collaboration, MassArt will hold an open house and reception with an afternoon of introductory presentations by faculty and local experts. The program will offer a series of open dialogues with appraisers and experts in different fields, including art historians and artists. Presenters will address the questions of what is appraising and what are appraisal studies, and delve into a series of illustrated and hands-on lectures and conversations exploring the intimate interrelationship between art and antiques appraising and art history, conservation and preservation, the art market and art collecting.
