The Bruce High Quality Foundation: TEACH 4 AMERIKA: THE CONVERSATION
@ Roots & Culture
1034 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60622
Opening Wednesday, April 6th, at 7PM
What is art school for? Given its exorbitant cost and the unlikelihood of art market success for most students, what should art education be? And what institutions are best suited for the task?
TEACH 4 AMERIKA: THE CONVERSATION asks local art students, creative thinkers, and arts professionals to consider these questions on the local level as the first step toward constructing a national imagination of the future of arts education.
About the project: In late March 2011, The Bruce High Quality Foundation will pile into a used limousine-cum-school bus and take off on a month-long, coast-to-coast investigation of what’s going on with contemporary art schools.
“The idea of art education needs to be taken back from the self-fulfilling professional art education industrial complex,” the Foundation argues, “and put in terms—economic, social, and practical – for artists on the ground.” Teach 4 Amerika is a rallying effort to begin this conversation on a national scale and to encourage a new generation of students, artists, and educators to imagine what is possible for art education in America.
