DESCRIPTION:

Is Pop Culture Art? Is Art Pop Culture? Since the Andy Warhol era  
artists have been trying to elevate pop culture to the level of art;  
and since artists have uttered I want to be a star - it has gone the  
other way too. Hear leaders from the San Francisco art and pop culture  
worlds come together and speak about where the lines are defined and  
blurred.

FEATURING:
Ron Turner of Last Gasp Eco Funnies Co, V. Vale of Search and Destroy,  
and John Law, Director of "Head Trip." Moderated by professional  
coach/social architect Michael Vav.
