Earn $1000! Possibly. Ask questions! Definitely.
How is value generated through the presentation of artworks and ideas? What is the relationship between speculative economies and arts education? How has the history of exhibitions at SFAI contributed to the cultural life of the school, the city, and beyond?
Come one, come all to an important and timely community gathering about Ether Brown, a brand new grant award available to current SFAI students, faculty, and staff. Learn about its genesis, ethics, volatility, and most importantly, how to apply. The event also explores the past, present, and future of exhibitions and public programs at the school, and how the award emerged in tandem with Ether, a project currently on view in the Walter & McBean Galleries.
An open forum follows a series of short introductions. Come with questions, leave with an informed distrust of centralized financial systems coupled with a collective hope to survive educational collapse by creating a sustainable economy in the hands of citizens.
Everyone welcome!
