SAM Talks

Pivotal Perspectives: Conversations on Art and Culture Art and Sustainable Cities: A Dialogue August 27, 2009 11:30 am–1 pm PACCAR Pavilion

SAM and the Cascade Land Conservancy present the next panel discussion exploring the intersection of art, culture and the environment. Can steps be taken to ensure that revitalization and increased density are beneficial for both the arts and artists? How can we avoid artists being pushed out of our cities by rising prices? What roles do diversity and equity play in building vibrant, sustainable cities? Join us as we consider these and other questions.

Featuring:
Michael Kinsley, American political journalist (moderator)
Randy Engstrom, Youngstown Cultural Arts Center
D.K. Pan and NKO, Free Sheep Foundation
Buster Simpson, Northwest artist
Beth Takekawa, Wing Luke Asian Museum

Bringing together some of the most compelling thinkers on a given cultural subject, Pivotal Perspectives is a timely and innovative forum that addresses pressing issues in art and society.

Free and open to the public; limited seating is available.
