Event Planning + Advocacy
Created by the Dodd Ambassadors at the Lamar Dodd School of Art, Dodd Market is an entirely free outlet for undergraduate art students to sell their art + gain crucial professional and entrepreneurial experience. Leading up to market day, participants engage with Dodd Alumni and industry professionals to learn marketing, pricing, production, and communication skills. The event supports 150+ student artists twice annually with an estimated $50,000 in revenue within the first two years.
Lily served as President of Dodd Ambassadors from May 2023 - May 2024. Under her leadership, Fall Dodd Market doubled in size, supporting 150 student artists. In the Spring, she led the Ambassadors in planning Spring Dodd Market, successfully expanding the event to a biannual occurrence. As president, Lily was an advocate for expanding professional and entrepreneurial opportunities for Dodd students.
