College of Western Idaho's (CWI) Studio Art students are getting real-world insight into what life may be like as a professional artist and the steps to get there! CWI's Studio Art Capstone (ARTS 290) course will meet with local artist, Joseph Haskin, as part of the College's Visiting Artist Series Wednesday, April 23.

He views his creations as visual explorations of philosophical and scientific concepts, carefully translating his creative journey into captivating encounters for the audience. He invites viewers to engage not only with the visual aesthetics of his art but also with the underlying philosophical and scientific concepts that fuel his creativity.
Haskin holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from Boise State University and an Associates of Art degree in Studio Art from College of Western Idaho. Haskin is a participating artists and curator of local art events such as Illuminate in the Garden City Arts District, Hackfort in conjunction with Treefort Fest, and Gleam Art & Light Night at Catalyst Arts Collaborative.
Haskin’s lecture will discuss his art practice and career path. He will provide students with advice for developing their careers post-graduation, informed by his career path as an artist, event coordinator, and curator in the Treasure Valley.
