things an art school could be:
porous
the art school in the community
the community in the art school
honest
acknowledgement of the history of the institution
acknowledgement of the benefits as well as the drawbacks of being part of an institution
open
to people of all backgrounds (facilitated by changes to admissions and assessment process)
artist-led
a shift away from the concerns of the art market
a broader understanding of what makes a successful artist
equal
learning takes place between people and things
staff and students are in a continual process of becoming artists
hopeful
a place for imagining different futures and bringing about change
