Access Granted? Breaking Into and Breaking Down the Art World

Description

Stepping into the art world can feel like entering a curated dream—sometimes yours, often someone else’s. It is a space where expressions intermingle with power structures and cultural narratives. What are the barriers to enter the art world and thrive within it? How are the boundaries of access, recognition, and visibility created? Who gets a spot in the white cube? And how are senses of belonging created in the cultural scene?

Together with Young Collectors Circle, SPUI25 in Spe delves into the systemic and personal challenges that arise for cultural professionals who are about to enter the field. This program identifies critical issues and proposes actionable solutions for cultural practitioners aiming to navigate and reshape the art world. Together with several guest speakers from the cultural field, we focus on addressing current barriers and ways to overcome them. What are the ways in which we can nurture a creative ecosystem where individual and collective voices can thrive and feel welcomed?

The evening will include a brief masterclass on the inner workings of the art world and how you can secure your spot right at the center of it. Together, we will imagine an art world that breaks boundaries, fosters dialogue, and welcomes all to create, experience, and belong.
