BIG QUESTIONS IN ART

The aim of this workshop is to stimulate visual art appreciation and intellectual discussion. Some of the issues we will be looking at are: "what is the role of public and private finance in the promotion of art?" "What factors contribute to a positive museum experience?" "What is the optimum aesthetic experience?" "What is the place of Indigenous Art in Canada?" "Does the restoration and conservation of art distort original work?" The workshop will be interactive with the viewing of works of art at each session.
