What should we teach art and design students about the history of working as an artist or designer?

Hosted by the Fashion Institute of Technology and the Teaching Business and Labor History to Art and Design Students project, this virtual symposium brings together professionals and educators to explore pedagogical practices in business and labor history for Art and Design students and curricula. In a series of panels and networking sessions, professionals, educators, and students discuss how art and design industries and careers are shaped by labor practices, unions and collectives, workplace equity (or lack thereof), internships, and the history of racial discrimination, cultural appropriation, and other topics in art and design.
