Welcome to The Passion Project, an Eyeopener digital series dedicated to highlighting creative passions. These 10 stories explore the joys of making art for personal fulfillment and celebrate stories from student artists who express themselves through artistic passion—not for profit or recognition but for their love of their craft. From painting to poetry to pottery, this series will showcase how and why student artists pursue their passions.
