Socratic Dialogue Series: What Makes Art Good?
Advertisement
Is great art a matter of skill? Beauty? Meaning? Intention? Tradition?
Or is it something we recognize before we can explain it?
Join us for an open, guided Socratic dialogue exploring one of the oldest and most contested questions in aesthetics: what actually makes art good. Rather than a talk or panel, this session is a shared inquiry—participants think together, test assumptions, and sharpen intuitions through conversation.
No art history background required. No correct answers on offer.
Just careful attention, honest disagreement, and the pleasure of thinking in good company.
Artists, non-artists, skeptics, and the simply curious are all welcome.
?️ Format: Guided group dialogue
? Topic: Artistic value, judgment, and recognition
? Bring: Curiosity and a willingness to question your own tastes
