The panelists, Jessica Lind Peterson (essayist and playwright), Kathy McTavish (media composer, cellist and installation artist), Alex Messenger (author, photographer, and communication professional), Chris Monroe (author, illustrator, and cartoonist), and Ian Wallin (local performance artist), spoke about their careers in the arts.
Moderator Kendra Carlson and audience members asked the panelists how they write to express themselves and promote their work, what they learned in college (or wished they did), and their views on generative AI. The panelists offered candid, witty, and memorable advice to more than 40 students, staff, and faculty in the UMD library Rotunda.
