    The Great Debate: Is there such a thing as bad art?

    Following the centuries-old format of the Oxford Union, this debate—moderated by Carolyn Sackariason, and between Lissa Ballinger, Teresa Booth Brown, Adam Lerner, and Robert Martin—will tackle one of the most fundamental questions of contemporary art: is there such a thing as bad art? Once the speakers have put forth their arguments, the discussion will open up to the audience for deliberation and a final vote.
