Art Literacy and Appreciation Workshop｜Art is a Game

Game night: How to thrive in the Art World?

How does the art world operate? What makes a "successful" artist?

Join us at the game night and have fun with the board game, "Surviving the Art World". Going through the paths of local artists: sharing a studio with friends, participating in an exhibition, finding a part-time job, applying for funding, and updating your IG posts, you are required to manage yourself as well as your art projects while collecting creative works and energy points to survive the art world.

 This board game invites you to travel across the local art ecology and think about how to work with the private and public sectors. How would you make professional choices without compromises?
