Join League instructor Elizabeth Demaray for a preview of her online Conceptual Art class. In this demonstration, explore the history of conceptual art and be guided through a live project which employs strategies of conceptual artmaking.
Elizabeth Demaray’s monthly online class, Conceptual Art: a Master Class for Everyone, takes place Sunday evenings. Created as a one-year rotation through the history of generative practices, each month is a stand-alone unit dedicated to a tool, strategy or practice found in contemporary art making. Students are invited to enroll during any month of the year-long rotation.
