Ground Floor Symposium: Chicago As Teacher
How do artists mentor and support the careers of other artists in Chicago? What does one have to do to find an experienced advisor to help navigate the art world? This conversation will attempt to articulate the obscure but impactful, formal or informal, networks of generosity in which Chicago artists participate. Ground Floor co-curator, Allison Peters Quinn talks with three generations of artists at Columbia College Chicago who actively pay it forward when it comes to assisting other artists careers. Featured speakers include Art Center’s Board Member and award-winning artist Dawoud Bey, Ground Floor artist Jonathan Castillo, and former Youth Art Board artist, Tiara Coleman.
