Things to Know:
The Vice President of Art is a very time-consuming job. Working with design means spending a lot of time on projects to make sure the designs are perfect. You will have the most opportunities for competitions of all the departments as most shows have events that involve the art department. None of the competitions involve live presentations. The beginning of the year will be difficult and time-consuming and you and your team will probably need to spend extra time outside of the office to complete tasks and meet deadlines. If you do not know InDesign, Photoshop or Illustrator, you and your team will need to invest time to learn the programs.
