Perhaps no college major inspires greater fear in the hearts of well-wishing parents than that of art. The very term ?Art Major? arouses imagery of the delicate Narcissus smoking cigarettes in a dark corner and listing to Ani DiFranco on a record player. But the stigma extends beyond the collegial: is a serious career in art plausible? In a field that supposedly values aesthetics over marketability, are even its most skilled practitioners condemned to a life of Raman and broken stencils?
