GBSS Artists Talk to Area Eight-Graders

GBSS Artists Erich Boldt and Matt Duckett were invited to participate in the La Crosse School District's Career Day for eighth graders, which included students from Logan, Lincoln, Longfellow, Onalaska and Holmen Middle Schools. Erich and Matt represented the Fine Artist profession, discussing with students the path that they have taken in order to live a life of art. They discussed what it takes to establish a foundation for a career in art, some of the market trends and forces on artists, and some of the many ways a fine artist can carve out a living. Remember: sketchbook, sketchbook, sketchbook!
