Steve Skopik, professor and chair of the Department of Cinema, Photography, Media Arts in the Park School, will lead a Tuesday Salon on the role of art in society, November 6 at 4:00 p.m. in the Handwerker Gallery.
Skopik states, "The Ithaca College Mission Statement identifies 'aesthetic appreciation' as the second of three priorities central to the purpose of the institution. Art and aesthetics are often thought of as nearly synonymous terms, but this oversimplifies -- or even misrepresents -- the priorities of many artists, and the goals of their work. This discussion will consider the many roles of art in contemporary culture."
The Tuesday Salon is a Handwerker Gallery program aimed at providing students, faculty, staff, and members of the community a forum outside of the classroom for intellectual discussion and debate. Topics are selected by a guest discussant, who provides a ten-minute introduction and moderates the ensuing conversation.
Light refreshments will be provided. For further information, please contact Rebecca Plante ([mailto:rplante@ithaca.edu]), Tuesday Salon co-director. All Handwerker Gallery events are free and open to the public.
