The Co-Prosperity School is an Artist-Run School for and about the advancement and understanding of contemporary Chicago Art. Through guest speakers and class member presentations we will shine a light on the contemporary art scene of Chicago. One of our goals is to break down the panel discussion dialogue of Chicago's art and bring it to a more informal group discussion format in which shapers of Chicago's Art World themselves tell of the contemporary scene.   Members can discuss their own work, or the work of others. Spring Semester begins March 26 thru May 21 2012. We meet on Mondays at the Co-Prosperity Sphere from 6:30pm to 9pm. Class sizes are limited to 10 people (we keep this thing intimate!). Current guests include: Stanley Tigerman, Bill Ayers, Jason Lazarus, Mary Jane Jacobs, Eric Brown and Catie Olson, Mindy Rose Schwartz and Ed Marszewski. Past guests have included Daniel Tucker, Hamza Walker, Paul Klein, Duncan MacKenzie,  Cody Hudson, Carolne Picard, Jason Foumberg, Carrie Gundersdorf, Tom Torluemke, Tom Burtonwood, Aron Packer, James Duignan, Nandipha Mntambo, and Barbara Koenen. Tuition is $150 for 8 classes. email coprosperityschool@gmail.com if you are interested in joining us. Members will be able to check out periodicals from the Public Media Institute Research Library.
