Hi Guys and Dolls
I finally figured out how to post on this blog, for all those who havent you go to the wordpress main page and lod in with the username Smizz sent us.
I have also knocked together something that we can mail out to guest speakers that will hopefully spark some discussion (I know that i just mentioned one of the Qs to Hester and she nearly flew into a rant so Im feeling optimistic of a interesting symposium).
Let me know what everyone thinks and feel free to add, subtract or fiddle with it.
“Not with MY tax money”
A Symposium on Art, Education and the Community Spirit
Questions we want answers to…
Can we be welcome in a community?
Does artistic ability rely on a separation from the wants and demands of the crowd? If we offer up our gifts do we risk getting ripped to shreds? Is our soul forfeit?
Can we gain back more than we give? In societies where the driving force is commodification, where everyone is asking for the price, can artists be generous?
Can education be a gift?
Can art be a right?
Must we teach what they want to learn or what they need to know or what we want to teach? And who decides what those all are? And are they all separate or just one lesson from different sides?
Maybe we should have stayed in our ivory towers.
Art > A drain on public funds?
luv ya all!!
