Jacob Teodoro

Arts Management BA, Concentration in Visual Arts '23

“… the most surprising thing I learned at ������ was my love for the commercial end of art, from the art expos, auction houses, to the primary and secondary markets,” says recent Arts Management graduate Jacob Teodoro. “������ has also shown me my love for Art History, which, in all honesty, surprised me the most.”

What would you say has been the most surprising thing you learned at ������?

I have learned so many things during my time at ������. However, the most surprising thing I learned at ������ was my love for the commercial end of art, from the art expos, auction houses, to the primary and secondary markets. ������ has also shown me my love for Art History, which, in all honesty, surprised me the most.

What individuals or programs at ������ were helpful to you in reaching your goal of graduating? 

Bob Blandford has been an amazing professor and father figure to me throughout my time at ������. I have had many moments of unsureness about my major and the fear of my career path, but he has helped me reach my goal of graduation. Without him, I would not have been able to accomplish many of my endeavors while also pushing me to the limits I didn't even know I had.

What are your plans for after graduation?

I do know I want to get as much experience from galleries and museums as possible before I get my master’s. I have so much passion for the arts that I don’t even know where to begin. I just know that whatever comes after ������ will come one step at a time.

“Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.”  - Pablo Picasso

If you were going to sum up your experience at ������ in one sentence, what would you say?

My experience at ������ has been full of ups and downs, though overall, I have been able to take in so much information and memories that will last me a lifetime.
