"Drifting Creatives" tour of a green print shop

"Drifting Creatives" are two recent design graduates of from Texas A&M University. They describe themselves as "creative problem solvers, aka designers. One problem we are trying to solve is joblessness. What are we doing about it? We are taking our design skillz to the road. Too many small towns don't have access to smart design. We know we aren't a huge design firm, but we think we can help out."

A creative solution to the challenges of the current job market and economy if I ever saw one.

CSU Summer Arts

CSU Summer Arts began in 1986 as a dance program housed on the campus of CSU Long Beach. The program moved to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, then Humboldt State, then CSU Long Beach again, and most recently, CSU Fresno, where we have spent the past ten years.

We continue to create a multidisciplinary and interactive environment, breaking down barriers and breaking new ground every day. To foster this environment, we encourage participants to live on campus and take advantage of the spontaneous interaction that occurs when you house hundreds of students and artists together in an intensive artistic environment.

Join us in Fresno this summer to experience the magic of
Summer Arts!
