The Art of Making It

The Art of Making It

Presented by Hot Docs at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema

Who makes the rules in the art world, and who is that art for? In The Art of Making It, a diverse group of young artists sets out to expose the contemporary art world as a well-oiled elitist machine, closely guarded by the ultra-rich. As they challenge systems and break barriers, they open a fascinating window into a seductive, secretive and unregulated industry. From the producer of the Emmy-nominated The Price of Everything, which deconstructed the wildly inflated prices of the global art market, this film narrows the focus to a group of black-sheep creators who are agitating for change. Their goal is to make the art world more inclusive and open, a system that prioritizes the well-being of artists rather than wealthy taste-makers—but will doing so risk their chances at making it? This doc is a timely skewering of a million-dollar club that manages to stay optimistic about the possibility of reinvention.

Tickets: $15 (Members from $10)
