Author: Adam Zucker

I am an artist, art historian, curator and educator. I am interested in the discourse that art has outside of the 'art world.'

I'm looking to develop a collaborative dialogue with other artists, curators, educators and anyone who is passionate about the role art can have within our collective culture.
