Visual Arts
Visual art careers offer a diverse range of opportunities, from traditional roles like painting and sculpture to modern fields such as digital media and animation. Artists can work independently, creating personal projects or freelance work, or be employed in various industries including advertising, entertainment, and education. Additionally, careers in art curation, gallery management, and art therapy provide paths to engage with art in supportive and educational roles. As technology advances, visual arts professionals increasingly blend creative skills with technical expertise, expanding their career possibilities even further. - OSPI Career Cluster Pathway Info PDF
