Conversation with Impractical Spaces

Claire Eide and Megan Galardi

Virtual conversation with Impractical Spaces, hosted by Moore College of Art Master of Arts candidates Claire Eide and Megan Galardi

<h3>Please join Moore College of Art and Design's Socially Engaged Art Master's Candidates  Claire Eide and Megan Galardi for a conversation with  <a href="https://www.impracticalspaces.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Impractical Spaces</a> as we discuss artist-led projects across the country, exploring themes of collaboration and access in art making spaces. </h3><h3>Impractical Spaces is a collaborative national project and groundbreaking anthology of publications that offers a historical look at defunct and active artist-run projects throughout the United States. As an archive, Impractical Spaces challenges the idea of the city center as the hub for all relevant artistic activity by celebrating the elastic resilience of the artistic spirit. </h3><h3></h3><h3>Featuring: </h3><p><a href="http://dulceeboehm.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong>Dulcee Boehm</strong></a> is an artist and writer based in the Midwest.
