WHY DO ART STUDENTS NEED LIBRARY RESOURCES?

In addition to writing papers for class, the

library will help you find resources…

To inspire your work.

To understand how your work connects to the

world around you.

To express your motivations as an artist (e.g.,

artist statement).

To explain your work to others like curators &

gallery owners.
