ARTS 103 Art Now! Speaker Series

In the Art Now! Speaker Series, students attend no fewer than six sessions 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. Students prepare questions and reflections on the presentations, critically engaging current issues facing contemporary art and culture and presenting 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.
