Cloud Gate

The Think Tank made their initial rendezvous at Anish Kapoor's "Cloud Gate" on the edge of Millennium Park. Now that's "interactive"!

Think Tank

A Think Tank including some 30 representatives from foundation programs nationwide was convened at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago last week (June 1 - 4, 2006). The brain child of Mary Stewart and Jim Elniski, the workshop focused on the topic of GTA training. Much lively discussion was generated by all, with time left over to visit Chicago's great museums and public spaces...and brew pubs. Adam Kallish created a great graphic that captures that inimitable Think Tank feeling.

Welcome to the "unofficial" blog for Foundations in Art: Theory and Education (FATE)--the national organization for foundation art teaching. We welcome your comments to these posts regarding the promotion of excellence in the development and teaching of college-level foundation courses in both studio and art history.
