Art Insider: Q&A
Art Insider: Q&A is open to all, from people too scared to enter a gallery to those with decades of art experiences, to ask questions about the art world and art business – why is Jeff Koons a star, is an artist's statement really needed, how do I start an art fair? Just a few questions from past Q&A's that were provided with a no-nonsense answer. Art Insider: Q&A begins with a question from the audience, no presentation or interview first, with a direct answer from Curcio. Past Q&A's have been at PS122, Lichtundfire, Con Artists and for classes at Purchase College, Long Island University, and Pratt. To schedule an Art Insider: Q&A email us.
