Offering insights into the general state of art criticism in Philadelphia: its strengths, its weaknesses, its causes and effects, its defining characteristics, its responsibilities, its audiences, the New Art Writing Challenge 2016 Roundtable Discussion offers thoughtful discourse about something we talk about, worry over, and have opinions on, but only few of us do: art writing and reviewing. Join this important discussion Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2016, 6PM – 7:30PM, Vox Populi, 319 N. 11th St., 3rd floor. Sit in our circle and listen and offer your ideas and thoughts about art writing and the personal and institutional constraints that define it and propel it.
