Students at the SNAG Conference
SNAG nurtures students in the field, and provides opportunities
to meet their peers and established artists in the field and
resources for getting their work seen by others. Towards
this end, we've created many programs and resources at the
conference just for students.
Attend SNAG conferences through enormously discounted rates and student assistantships. What you learn during these four days is quite simply not available in the classroom.
