Summer Series

Featured Artists & Conversations

Our 2024 Summer Series program has come to a close, and we’re thrilled to report record attendance, both in person and virtually. Hundreds of attendees engaged in insightful conversations with the premier contemporary artists and curators of our time.

We could not have done it without Sarah Harrelson, Editor-in-Chief of Cultured Magazine, who curated this year’s series. Her vision and dedication brought together an incredible lineup of artists and moderators. A special thanks also goes to our sponsors and supporters, whose generosity helped to make the program a huge success.

If you missed any conversations, don’t worry—now’s your chance to catch up and experience what everyone’s been talking about! All the lectures are available for free on our YouTube channel and at the bottom of this page. View the conversations you missed and revisit your favorite moments.

Our channel also features Guest Faculty Lectures with renowned artists like Catherine Opie, The Haas Brothers, and Kylie Manning, which offer valuable insights and fresh perspectives.

Stay connected by subscribing to our YouTube channel for future lectures and behind-the-scenes demos. Let’s continue this creative journey together!
