They’ve done the work and made the grade. Where are they now?
Alumni of the South Carolina School of the Arts’ Art and Design program work in creative and professional fields and industries all across the spectrum and around the world. Others study – or teach – at some of top graduate schools in the country.
Still, we keep in touch.
Our alumni network with each other and with students, celebrate accomplishments, and come home to attend the Department of Art and Design’s annual alumni exhibitions and hear distinguished speakers on campus. Learning – like creating – is a lifelong endeavor.
They continue to love doing the work.

Testimonials
Here are a few things our graduates have to say about the Department of Art + Design.
AU’s approachability and promise of an education that could rival any other is what ultimately lead me to pursue the Art and Design program.
Jivan Davé, Senior Art Director
My art professors offered a wealth of individualized attention, which gave me the support to explore and find my creative voice. They instilled in me the importance of paying attention to every detail, from the initial framework of a piece to the finishing touches that really stand out.
Andrew Massey, Ceramic Artist
The most valuable take away from my education is the remarkable, luminary professors that guided me through my college experience and into my professional career. They created a home that challenged my thinking, developed my skills and nurtured my dreams. I am forever indebted to the time, effort and love they gave and continue to give to me today.
Emily Weiland, Director of Operations
Thanks to the rigor of the AU art program, I’m comfortable working in a studio, balancing priorities and meeting deadlines. AU professors taught me how to translate big ideas and concepts into physical work.
