Many of our graduates also go on to study in the EOU MAT program and pursue careers teaching art at the high school level.

In addition to preparing students to go on to pursue graduate study many of our graduates successfully make the direct transition from the academy to the art world. Graduates have gone on to work as technician’s and instructors at Bullseye Glass in Portland as well as several art-metal foundries throughout the northwest region. Others have found positions working with the Washington State Arts Commission and some have chosen to work together to open their own collective studio spaces such as the La Grande Waypoint Studios.
