Art Criticism Between and Around the Coasts

February 15, 2020

Art Criticism Between and Around the Coasts, a panel discussion hosted by AICA-USA, took place Saturday, February 15, 2020, as part of the College Art Association Annual Conference. The panel consisted of AICA-USA members working in different parts of the country. Speakers were invited to consider ways that critics can expand perceptions of contemporary art through coverage of artists whose artwork and practice function or resonate differently outside of New York, which for many artists and critics is synonymous with the market context.
