Provocative Supported Studio forum at MCA
The one-day forum, Supported Studios: possibility and potential is an initiative of Accessible Arts designed to foster greater artistic exchange and as a consequence, greater artistic currency for supported studios within the Australian visual arts sector. Presented in partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Australia, the forum will be held at the National Centre for Creative Learning at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) on Thursday November 7. MCA Senior Curator Glenn Barkley is a key speaker and will address the end of Outsider Art and what this means for curators and the museum.
This forum will be of value to writers, curators, gallery directors, educators, collectors and those working in creative industries. By creating a framework for discussion and networking, Supported Studios: possibility and potential will scope possible futures for supported studios in Australian contemporary art.
