Art in General

Art in General will organize and implement a signature educational initiative in the form of a large-scale, annual public symposium. The goal is to engage a wide range of audiences with contemporary art using the museum's core commissioning exhibition program as a springboard for exploring current trends and topics impacting artistic and curatorial practice today. The "What Now?" symposium will generate significant educational content including live streaming of the conference, podcasts of conference presentations, interviews with key contributors to the conference, and a publication featuring critical writing and original new content on contemporary art and ideas relevant today. The results of the symposium will be shared with the public, curators, writers, and scholars for use as a learning tool for both international and local audiences focusing on artistic practice, arts administration, and curatorial training.
