Swindon Festival Of Literature - Dr Caroline Campbell

Dr CAROLINE CAMPBELL - on The Power of Art

Presented in association with Swindon Museum & Art Gallery

What has been and is the role of art, in the past, in the present, and in the future? What constitutes art? What does it do for a town and its people? What has made art so significant, so inspiring, and so provocative to some, and so irrelevant and meaningless to others? What is the future and role of art?

Former fellow of the Centre for Curatorial Leadership in New York and first female Director of the National Gallery of Ireland, Dr Caroline Campbell is passionate about widening public engagement with art, about which she has spoken to audiences around the world; and is author of newly-published The Power of Art.
