A Presentation by Mark Siegel

​

With personal anecdotes from various projects as an author, artist, and editor, Mark Siegel offers a spirited look at living a creative life, in a world mostly driven by profit. Keeping oneself intact and generative, and above all human—these and other themes run through this popular workshop.
