Tonight we are kicking off Art Center’s visioning process spearheaded by President Lorne Buchman. We encourage all members of the Art Center community to join the dialogue.

The discussion begins tonight, Jan. 13, in the Ahmanson Auditorium from 7:30 to 9:30 pm (PST). We have invited a panel of distinguished guests to help us gain a new perspective on art and design education:

• Andrew Blauvelt – Design director and curator, Walker Art Center in Minneapolis
• Katherine Hayles – Director of graduate studies in literature at Duke University
• Steven Oliver – Member of the board of directors for United States Artists and former chairman of the board of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
• David Rice – President of DesignCom, Inc. and chairman and founder of The Organization of Black Designers

If you can’t make it in person, you’re in luck—the visioning session will be webcast live on the Web and we’ll be posting twitter updates as well. Follow us:
