Join us the third Thursday of every month for coffee and conversation followed by a lecture or film screening. This month, Mark Shapiro of LAIKA will share a behind-the-scenes peek into the craft and science behind the work of the Portland-based animation studio.

Coffee at 9:15 a.m. in the Fields Ballroom, Mark Building; lecture at 10:15 a.m. in the Whitsell Auditorium, Main Building. Those attending the lecture are also welcome to explore the galleries after the talk. This series is free for adults 62 and over and is made possible through the Marguerite and Harry Kendall Education Fund. Additional support comes from Rick and Erika Miller.
