Graduates are required to professionally matt and hang their work, set up their presentation areas and speak about their beginnings at duCret, their artwork and the vision behind what they’ve produced. They must also offer their plans for marketing and the continuation of their artwork past graduation. All duCret graduates are encouraged to remain in constant contact with the school, as duCret also serves as a community resource center for artists. Therefore, the intimate bond that’s been created between teachers/mentors is not broken or lost, but remains a constant source of support for graduates. They can also continuously participate in future shows and events associated with the school.
