The d.i.y. panel discussion series at the Columbia College Chicago Library focuses on ‘do it yourself’ fields, in which many from the Columbia community are active.

Each session brings together three independent artists who share their work experience and discuss the evolution of and inspiration for their art, ingredients for success, and advice for up-and-coming artists.

Partnering with CAAN (Columbia Alumni Association & Network), these forums provide a venue where staff, students, alumni, and others can meet and network.

Podcasts are available for most sessions.
