- Host and/or participate in a student art show on campus
- Monthly Jams (artmaking activities)

Also discussed:
- Collaborating with the music dept. on a big arts & music event
There will be many opportunities to get our own work seen as well as to see what other artists are doing. Here are just some of the galleries, museums, and artwalks we are attending this year:
