ANTICAPITALISM FOR ARTISTS, DAY 1: In this welcome event, we will introduce our theme for the weekend Getting Capitalism Out of Art. As artists, we believe that capitalism has no place in our world yet we find ourselves constrained by capitalism and all its byproducts at every turn. In this community discussion and workshop, we’ll discuss the challenges facing artists within capitalism and workshop original ideas for what we as artists can do to free art from capitalism. (Plenary; Community Workshop)

Spearheaded by DSA member Chris Myers, Anticapitalism for Artists is a collaboration involving members of DSA-LA Hollywood Labor, DSA-NYC Workers Arts Project, and other socialist organizations.
