“Art can be both a rarified and commonplace commodity. Where art is created above and beyond the limitations of the moment, such art needs the exclusivity of the mind and the patron to survive, but art is and should also be a staple for the public at large, from plumber to the professor,” said the institute’s dean of academics Pluto Panoussis.
