Event Description:

TRUCK Contemporary Art Soap Box Series presents:
 
Arts in Print
 
With
 
Drew Anderson (Calgary)
 
A post modern, third wave feminist critique of gender relations in a post 9/11 world. Huh? Is it a painting or what?
Writing about visual arts for those both within and outside the arts community requires a different set of skills and words than an ACAD paper or an academic treatise. You don’t want to look stupid to those in the know, but it’s all about the general reader. Are you curious about what goes through the mind of Fast Forward Weekly’s arts editor and how to write for a broader public? Common pitfalls, common praise and, hopefully, a healthy discussion on how to write, how not to write and why we do the things we do.
Join arts writer and editor Drew Anderson for an evening discussion on writing about the arts in Calgary.
The Soap Box Series is open to the public and attendance is free.
