The Art Of Our City
Intersection Of Art And Money
Monday, April 16, 2012
What is the role of art in our market–driven society? How do artists support themselves and their work? What motivates them to enter a field that most likely won't lead to financial security?
KUOW's Marcie Sillman and a panel of artists and arts advocates talk about the intersection of art and money, along with a little live music.
The Art of Our City is an audio treasure hunt. Each 90–second installment introduces listeners to something new: from a temporary public artwork at the Seattle Center, to pocket parks, and other urban treats.
If you've got a suggestion for inclusion in this series, please email it to Marcie Sillman.
