Event Description:
Join Youngglobal.net and Edelman for a spirited discussion on
the convergence of social media and the art world. This discussion
will examine how the new digital landscape has re-defined how we
create, engage and share art.
Often when one thinks of the art world images of exclusive
exhibition openings, wealthy collectors, million dollar paintings and
a world that pales in comparison to the average "Joe" come
to mind. Fortunately, this paradigm has slowly began to change
due to the infiltration of social media in our day-to-day life. The
new digital landscape, social media has become a robust hub for
sharing, showcasing and engaging with art in a refreshingly dynamic
manner. From artists to dealers to museums, the increased
accessibility for participation has challenged the traditional
perception of the art experience creating new avenues for the
distribution, consumption and acquisition of art.
"The Digital Gallery: How Social Media is Democratizing the
Art World?" seeks to create a discourse around how institutions,
artists and organizations are confronting the need to use social media
to connect with the next generation of artists, patrons and consumers.
The panel will feature experts from various sectors within the art
world in order to foster a dynamic and "spirited" dialogue.
