A new website from the Art Institutes may help those interested in enrolling in on-campus or online degree programs in the arts explore the latest trends in a variety of industries.

The Art Institutes - a nationwide system providing higher education in design media arts, fashion and culinary arts - has announced the launch of Ai InSite, which offers insider information on topics such as emerging fashions, popular design concepts, progressions in media arts and new cuisines. The website also offers advice on careers in these industries.

Working adults in these fields may apply this advice in an online college degree program, which may help them obtain a career-advancing education without halting professional development.

Visitors can sign up for emails and RSS feeds to receive updates on trends, job prospects and industry news. Postings on the site can be shared through Facebook, MySpace, Digg, email and similar social media services.

John Mazzoni, President of the Art Institutes, said the site aims “to provide those searching advice and insights on creative arts topics” from “industry professionals.”

Coupling such resources with an online education may help professionals in the art, design or hospitality industries stay abreast of emerging trends and accelerate their careers.
