Dot Red’s panel discussion will focus on “Art Collecting During a Time of Social Change,” featuring arts advocate and activist collector Josef Vascovitz, Director of Community Philanthropy for the Portland Art Museum, John Goodwin, and Seattle-based visual artist Barbara Earl Thomas. This thoughtful discussion will explore the dynamic relationship between art, social transformation, and the evolving practices of museums, experienced collectors, and artists. Along side our moderator Jeremy Quant, our panelists will reflect on their journey and provide strategies for the next wave of socially conscious collectors, curators, and artists.
