Moderating the discussion will be Chicago based artist / activist, Candace Hunter. Joining the discussion will be Carl Hammer of Carl Hammer Galleries, Professor Lisa Stone from the Roger Brown Study Collection, renowned art collector, Patric McCoy and outstanding outsider artist, Dr. Charles Smith whose exhibition Charles Smith: Homecoming is on view at The DuSable Museum until December 31, 2011.
