COLLEGE ARTS SALON AT SCPA OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

SAN DIEGO (October 8, 2012) Do you know of students who are interested
in finding out more about college and career pathways in the arts? The
San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA) encourage students
and families to attend our annual College Arts Salon on Monday October 15,
from 6-7:30 p.m. in the SCPA Grand Theatre, 2425 Dusk Drive, San Diego, CA
92139. College representatives from Cal Arts, Cornish College of the Arts,
the University of Michigan, Syracuse University, the University of San
Diego, the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, and Platt
College of Digital Media and Design will discuss the admissions process,
how students should prepare, and financial aid opportunities. The program
will feature questions for the panelists, which will followed by a
question and answer session, and will culminate with some individual
conferences with the college representatives at their designated tables.

Creative jobs are holding steady despite the economic downturn, according
to The Otis Report on the creative economy in southern California. Average
salaries in the creative fields may be as low as $40,000 in the fashion
industry and upwards of $199,000 in the visual and performing Arts
(otis.edu/econreport). Attend SCPAs College Arts Salon to hear how high
school students can prepare for successful college and career
opportunities. Now is the time to come out and learn what is available for
passionate and talented students wishing to pursue the arts for a
lifetime.

SCPA is a college preparatory, arts-focused, magnet public school for
students in grades 6 through 12 who have a strong interest, passion, and
talent in the arts. For more information about SCPA, please visit
