Join us for our monthly Artists’ Salon for a discussion on the topic: Does Art School Matter?
This program offers a unique opportunity for artists across the Sacramento community to come together and engage in meaningful discussions about various topics and themes related to the arts and creative passions.
Each month, the Artists’ Salon explores a different theme, supported by curated academic readings to enrich the conversation. Sessions are typically moderated by Verge staff, with occasional guest moderators leading the dialogue.
This month we will be adding to the age old discussion of institutional learning for technique vs life experience and/or trial and error. Is going to art school worth the investment?
We will ground our discussions in the articles provided below – please give them a read before arriving.
As always, the Verge Artists’ Salon is a FREE event with light refreshments provided but feel free to add to the community table.
