The student organization Click, and the Arts Entertainment and Media Management Department are sponsoring The Forum, an educational series featuring accomplished individuals in the world of entertainment business, on Wednesday, September 19, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., in the Ferguson Theater, 600 S. Michigan.
The featured guests for the evening are Jonathan Rhodes Executive Director of ThreeWalls and Neysa Page-Liberman Director of [C]Spaces.
ThreeWalls is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to contemporary art and art education. Their mission is to provide workspace and exhibition opportunities for emerging artists who are at pivotal points in their careers. The residency and exhibition programs are focused on supporting practices that might otherwise go unrepresentative in commercial settings or traditional institutions.
C]Spaces plan and promote nearly three dozen gallery exhibitions each year on Columbia’s campus, as well as fiction and poetry readings, film and video screenings, music, theater and dance performances, most of which showcase student work to the public.
The Forum creates a platform allowing the most successful people in the art business to share their stories of expertise with those who dream of being triumphant in the growing world of art. Students of Columbia College Chicago have created the series in order to promote strong, ethical, and priceless knowledge of the art industries. With one innovative guest speaker and one intelligent moderator, a discussion about the guest’s past, current projects, and opinions on the industry will take place in front of an audience hungry for knowledge.
After the event comes to a close, a coffee talk will take place in the Underground Cafe to promote networking as well as mentoring for new students at Columbia. These events are free and open to the public.
