LOOKBACK
Now scattered across the country, our former alumni have each charted wildly different artistic paths. Whether you’re a budding artist yourself or simply curious about what lies ahead, we hope their journeys inspire you to imagine your own—on your own terms.

A tale of two lovers
High school students are not the only ones completing a year and forging a new path. In this 3-part interview series, we wanted to check in with some of the teachers who are starting new beginnings -- whether that's retirement or a career switch. Through these casual conversations, we hope to gain a better understanding of where our long-time mentors are coming from, and where they’re heading next.
