Mentorships Students independently organize and produce work and participate in a group preparing
for exhibitions in the spring of their junior year. In the fall of their senior year,
students prepare for a Senior Exhibition with a committee preparing them to produce
and exhibit their capstone work in the spring. This path gives students an opportunity
to develop an independent voice while receiving creative and academic guidance from
professional, practicing artists.
Internships As a Studio Art major or minor, you will be encouraged to complete at least one internship
after your first year at Chapman. During your internship, you’ll be paired with an
Art Department faculty mentor who will guide and support your work. Our students gain
real-world experience in art galleries, artist studios, photography studios, museums,
and other creative industries that support the arts. Thanks to the department’s strong
connections with leading galleries in Los Angeles, these competitive internships give
you hands-on experience and an insider’s perspective on the contemporary art world.
