If you're in NYC and a reality-TV addict, don't miss tonight's panel on the next wave of 15 minutes of fame and whether or not it'd be a good thing for art and artists.

Moderated by Artlog and comprised of Sara Friedlander, Specialist in the Post-War and Contemporary Art Department at Christie’s, Dawn Chan, Writer/Critic Art Forum, Victor Samra, Technology & Marketing MoMA, and our very own Ms. Jen Bekman, the panel will address:

How is technology and the American media impacting artists and their ability to gain recognition? What role do the museums have in using technology and programming to promote up and coming artists to the mass audience? How is the economy impacting opportunities for emerging artists? Is the general American public interested in star artists? How do collectors find these Next Top Artists before they hit it big? Are institutions actively trying to establish so called star artists?

The panel is part of the Affordable Art Fair and will take place TONIGHT, Friday, May 8th, from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. @ 7 West 34th Street, New York, New York, 10001.
