We’re partnering with Sawtooth School for Visual Art to bring you a special one-night-only screening of this cult classic, a witty critique of the institutional art world, and a humorous contrast to Sawtooth’s community-focused classes and workshops.

Starting from childhood attempts at illustration, the protagonist pursues his true obsession to art school. But as he learns how the art world really works, he finds that he must adapt his vision to the reality that confronts him.

“Based on Daniel Clowes’s comic and screenplay, Terry Zwigoff’s hilarious faux exposé chronicles the growing pains of artistes-in-training at the “Strathmore Institute.”” ~ Rhonda Lieberman, Artforum
