Chaired by Norie Sato, independent artist
Tom Finkelpearl will be participating in our roundtable discussion with Caroline Woolard and Paul Ramírez Jonas.
The issues brought up by the topic are of special interest to students and young artists, but certainly are relevant to many in the artworld, and has implications on how artists can work, show, produce and survive under these burdens. These issues also affect institutions and other support organizations that wish to operate in the City and elsewhere and support emerging and established artists in and outside the public realm.
This session is free and open to the public.
