Are you curious about art and culture? Join us in exploring Sarah Thornton’s acclaimed book, Seven Days in the Art World (W.W. Norton, 2009), a behind-the-scenes journey through the institutions, personalities, and ideas that shape contemporary art today. Each week, participants will read and discuss one “day” in the book. Thornton's writing will take us inside the world of art studios, the minds of art critics and draw the curtain on art prizes, auctions, and more. We'll support our discussions with visuals and media that relate to the book and deepen our understanding of how art is made, valued, and experienced. Discussions will be supplemented by articles, videos, and podcasts. This will be a great group for anyone who loves learning more about the intersection of art and our modern day society.
