Artistic creation prizes full autonomy of the artist. Reality bites… Young artists are often confronted with questions of how to publish their works, and how to sustain resources to keep making art. What is really happening in the art market? How does it work? Who are the players?… It is better that we learn about what happens than imagine it to be just a big monster devouring our freedom. Today, international art fair has become increasingly important as the locations where young artists find possible sponsors…
A special one-&-half-day lecture/workshop series is now in place to welcome CIL students and graduates back for the new academic year.
Our “Creativity-In-Practice: Learning outside Classroom” (CIP) grant for CIL students has enabled us to invite a special expert from Spain, Mr Alvaro Rodriguez, to visit SCM right before school begins:

Time/Venue:
10:00am-5:30pm (with lunch break and tea break) @ Screening Room (Red zone, level 2, School of Creative Media)
