Demystifying the Art World Panel Discussion
How accessible should the art world be? Is secrecy a key to the art world’s survival? Is it ok to gatekeep who understands and collects art? Does the viewer’s interpretation of art matter more than the artist’s? These are some of the many topics that will be discussed with NYT bestselling author of Get the Picture and reporter, Bianca Bosker, former senior editor of Hyperallergic, Seph Rodney, and gallerist Rob Dimin of Dimin Gallery, with Morgan Everhart of Art Hap joining as moderator.
Seats are limited for this event. If you are a Soho House member, please RSVP on the app. If you are not a Soho House member, please contact Robert Dimin at dimin@dimin.nyc for a ticket. Tickets are limited and first come, first serve.
