Inspiring salon-style conversations and workshops at the Fine Arts Work Center

We are excited to announce a brand new series: Summer Salons. For these events, we’re inviting two leading lights in the arts and culture world to the Work Center to share their insights, experience, and knowledge in a weekend of conversation, learning, and community.

We’re hosting four summer salon weekends this summer, and we have assembled an incredible line-up of leading voices who have shaped arts and letters in the United States and worldwide.

We kick things off on Friday evening with an un-moderated conversation between our two guests. Peter Slevin, New Yorker writer, Michelle Obama biographer, and one of America’s most ear-to-the-ground journalists covering swing states, will share his insights and reporting on the precarious nature of America’s Democracy. Interlocutor Sarah Schulman will explore how this professor at Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism learned his chops, chose his beat, and rose to the top of his field.
