Your fine arts degree can lead to many options in the creative marketplace. In addition to establishing a professional art practice, you might work in one of the many related arts fields, such as teaching art, owning an art gallery, or working as a curator or art critic. You might also choose a career in a commercial art field such as illustration, animation, art direction, photojournalism, or commercial photography. A BFA is also the first step to a Master of Fine Arts degree, which would prepare you to pursue advanced artistic research, or teach art at the college level.
