Bring a bag lunch!

This program presented by OSHER@Dartmouth Study Leader Jo Evarts will focus on the Cornish Art Colony in its seminal period, from its inception in 1884 to 1916, the year of its retrospective at Dartmouth. You will discuss its place in Arcadian American Art, ranging from the Hudson River School to Maxfield Parrish (in particular) as well as view images of the artists' works.

Lunch & Learn is a lecture series co-sponsored by Richard W. Black Center. It will be on the 4th Wednesday of every month.
