Affirming the value of an intellectually flexible community.
Learning should last a lifetime. By offering free access to lectures, art exhibitions, and study facilities, the Barrick affirms the value of a well-informed and intellectually flexible community. We believe in interdisciplinary cooperation between the visual arts and all other areas of life.
