Art Theory Summer Camp
Art Theory Summer Camp is an annual series of summer time readings. We read roughly a book a month. In an addition to a blog format, there are weekly SKYPE meetings. These one hour “talk times” will allow for more fluid and organic connections to take place. The fallow months are an excellent time to make reading suggests. Feel free to post book suggestions to:
