Join us the third Thursday of every month for coffee and conversation followed by a lecture or film screening. This month, Mary Weaver Chapin, Ph.D., Curator of Prints and Drawings, will discuss The Etchings of Whistler and His Circle, an exhibition of etchings by James McNeill Whistler and other artists such as Otto Henry Bacher, Frank Duveneck, James McBey, and Joseph Pennell, who were influenced by Whistler’s lyrical, atmospheric style and delicate tonal harmonies.

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.
