@sparkleglitch13 @sarahuristgreen So happy to hear this, Eris. I'm not sure any of us really find peace, but hope! Hope is the thing.

This usually transpires in real space, but I'll 100% take virtual this year. I picked some of the work of SAIC grads that stood out to me the most, and I encourage you to check it out, too.

[School of the Art Institute of Chicago @saic_news]

We're thrilled to launch The Future of Our Plans, an online showcase of work from the SAIC graduate class of 2020.

Explore current projects, thesis work, and creative reflections on our current moment from more than 150 artists, designers, and scholars.

It's true. Why aren't all museums actively reckoning with this reality? It's not a matter of if it must happen, but when.

The British Museum is full of stolen artifacts.

As the world reckons with the damage inflicted during Europe’s colonial global takeover, the calls for cultural and historical treasures to be returned are getting louder and louder.

Ben Denzer has made many an atypical book, recently binding together one roll of Charmin toilet paper. New video, new assignment out now: Make an atypical book and post with #youareanartist: https://t.co/9YOK0AtFw8

[The Art Assignment @artassignment]

[The Art Assignment @artassignment]

Your assignment:
1. Make a book that is atypical in terms of its form or material
2. Share it here or on Insta with #youareanartist

[The Art Assignment @artassignment]

What a joy to share this outstanding poem, which I had to memorize in high school and have been unable to forget.

[Ours Poetica @ourspoeticashow]

"The world is too much with us; late and soon, / Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; — / Little we see in nature that is ours; / We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!" — @sarahuristgreen reads William Wordsworth on today's episode! https://t.co/YitMvAljzy

The GIF in the previous tweet has so many artworks in it, that we can't fit all attributions in a single tweet! So here's a screenshot of them all.

[The Art Assignment @artassignment]

Art is, and has been, so many things.
How do we even begin to define it? Is it worth even trying?

Our new video is out exploring THE DEFINITION OF ART, a topic we’ve resisted for years but wanted to address before we break.

@iSmashFizzle Wise words, Ashley (although I misread this at first and had a good laugh). And thank you!!

[The Art Assignment @artassignment]

@HalloranPJ Thank you thank you!

THREAD: After 6 years and 220 videos since the Art Assignment began, we’re announcing that we are going to
➡️ Take a few months off
➡️ Dramatically slow down production

Why? I’d love to share some reasons.
