The job outlook for careers within the visual arts pathway is positive. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment of artists and related workers is projected to grow 4 percent from 2019 to 2029, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Job opportunities for visual artists are expected to be best for those with a bachelor’s degree or higher in fine arts, graphic design, or a related field. Additionally, the demand for multimedia artists and animators is expected to grow as companies continue to use computer animation and visual effects in films, video games, and television.
