We are inviting artists, city planners, strategists to participate in conversation.

Chicago artist Marc Fischer is leading the discussion and focusing on the issues addressed in the ART WORK project, a national dialogue concerning art and economies. This open, free, community driven conversation.

To give you a little background...the ARTWORK project includes:

A dialogue online at the Artwork website http://www.artandwork.us/ . A publication which will be avaiable at the DAAC event and on display at the UICA

A series of public conversations to discuss the global and local implications of the shift in the economy; focusing on the impact of arts, culture and communities.

Interested individuals are invited to check out the ART WORK project website prior to the discussion at http://www.artandwork.us/ and then join us from 3-5PM to meet Artist Marc Fischer, and participate in this timely and loaded conversation about arts, culture and economies.
