Abstract
This chapter explores the role of the artist in adult education within the art gallery. I explore how artist-led learning projects in galleries are situated in terms of their commitment to art and their commitment to intentional learning. How do we approach current ideas that view adult learning environments as spaces of collective emancipation? How do we address the reality that learning has become a commodity product?
