ARTS 103 Art Now! Art and Art History Speaker Series


ART NOW! is the Art and Art History Department’s curricularized one-credit Speaker Series. Over the course of a semester, students attend no fewer than six sessions sponsored by the department, where they learn about and engage with a diverse mix of art makers, curators, critics, historians, and entrepreneurs. Students hear directly from the unique individuals–international, national, and Chicago-based–who are actively authoring the culture of our times, and gain exposure to the rich range of perspectives, practices, and professional pathways possible for the contemporary creative. In addition to attending the lectures, students prepare by reviewing materials that provide background and context for each speaker and students participate in a digital discussion forum, where they critically engage current issues facing contemporary art and culture and present informed positions and assessments of contemporary art practice. This course provides an accessible, timely, and lively introduction to the multiple worlds of contemporary art and current art discourse, as well as being an excellent way to stay current with the latest developments.
