VMCAD Art Exhibition Creates Job Opportunities

The Virginia Marti College of Art and Design (VMCAD) Student Art Exhibition is much more than an art show. It has the potential power to begin a student’s design career and to forge networking opportunities with major design firms in the area.  The Department Chairs of the College invite design professionals from preeminent firms to adjudicate the show. More importantly, these judges get a first look at up-and-coming designers who they may be interested in hiring future employees. This is clearly evident from the circumstances that surrounded last year’s VMCAD Student Art Exhibition.

One of our outstanding design students, who had been already been placed by Career Services before graduation in a well-respected Cleveland design firm, entered art work in the show. A judge from another renowned agency, who saw her work, told the Graphic Design Department Chair, “This student, right here, I want her to work for me.” After that two other agencies came in to see the VMCAD Student Art Exhibition and said, “Who is that, we want her for our agency.” These three design agencies made the Graphic Design Department Chair promise that if someone of this caliber presents work in next year’s art show they would be the first ones to see the work and provide possible employment.

Again, this illustrates that the VMCAD Student Art Exhibition is much more than an art show. It is an opportunity for students to show their work to major players in the design industries.

This year’s Exhibition is expected to yield the same results and will be held at the VMCAD campus in Lakewood.
