[Arun Vats]

As you want to know details about “What's the point of art school?” I would like to inform you that it was a Conference where Teachers, practitioners and industry insiders meet to discuss the future of the art and design curriculum.
This conference was on Tuesday 14 May 2013 from 9.30am - 5pm at Platform Theatre, Central Saint Martins, 1 Granary Square, King's Cross, N1C 4AA
