Why study Studio Art abroad?

"My experience in Africa permitted me to travel extensively and compare different African cultures. It stimulated my own artwork and historical research, and has resulted in me becoming an active member of the Accra Committee of the Chicago Cultural Affairs Department which deals with cultural exchange between Chicago and her sister city, Accra. I have given docent training and lectures at the Cultural Center on exhibitions from Ghana. I received my MFA from the University of Illinois, Chicago, in 1996. I am currently working with the Accra Committee in coordinating events surrounding the arrival of Ghanaian artist Kofi Setordji and a show of toys made by Ghanaian children. Little did I know that my EAP experience would lead to such a rich future in promoting cultural exchange between our two countries." Laura Dalrymple Anderson, UC San Diego University of Ghana, Legon, 1990-91
