The Northrop Frye Centre proudly presents the first of our NFC Doctoral Fellow Lectures, Art for Art’s Sake, or Art for Life’s Sake? Aestheticism as a ‘Substitute Theology’ by Katie Fry (NFC Doctoral Fellow, 2015-2016). Join us in NFC (VC102, Old Victoria College Building, 91 Charles Street West) on Thursday, March 24^th at 4:00pm as we examine both endorsements and critiques of l’art pour l’art in an effort to elucidate how this aesthetic principle can become a way of life or a surrogate religion. All are welcome. Click here to RSVP.
