About the event
Southwest Contemporary magazine and RedLine Contemporary Art Center join forces to present a lively panel discussion and open Q+A exploring the current state of art criticism and art writing in Colorado and the greater Southwest region.
We’ll discuss the role criticism plays within the arts ecosystem, what is at stake within the region, and the challenges and opportunities for arts writing to advance the arts in the future.
The discussion will be moderated by Natalie Hegert, arts editor at Southwest Contemporary, and the panelists include writer and art critic Kealey Boyd, Southwest Contemporary publisher and editor Lauren Tresp, artist and organizer Derrick Velasquez, and artist, writer, and researcher Denise "The Vamp DeVille" Zubizarreta.
