SANTA BARBARA — Santa Barbara Museum of Art to present Prof. Caroline Arruda speaking about “Making Art and Living the Authentic Life” at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 14 at SBMA’s Mary Craig Auditorium, 1130 State St., Santa Barbara.
In conjunction with the SBMA exhibition Inside/Outside(on view until February 18), Prof. Caroline Arruda will give a talk that combines philosophy with art to think about how artists show us what a life well lived might look like. Contemporary culture sees artists as being authentic because many pursue their creative goals above all else, sacrificing family or a stable life to realize their dreams. While few of us doggedly pursue our goals with this intensity, artists still do have something to teach the rest of us about living authentically and living well.
Caroline Arruda is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Director of Graduate Studies for the Philosophy Department at Tulane University in New Orleans.
Location: SBMA’s Mary Craig Auditorium, 1130 State Street, Santa Barbara
