SUMMARY:BRAHM Annual Meeting with Special Guest Jennifer Dascal
DESCRIPTION:This year’s annual meeting will feature a special guest speaker\, historian\, curator\, and ArtCurious podcast host Jennifer Dasal will discuss her new book The Club: Where American Women Artists Found Refuge in Belle Époque Paris.  \nThis is a lively and engaging portrait of the American Girls’ Club\, a transformative residence for American women artists from 1893 to 1914. At a time when educational opportunities were limited in the U.S.\, hundreds of ambitious American women crossed the Atlantic seeking formal training\, independence\, and community.

SUMMARY:Exploring Horizon Line: Southern Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:This lecture will explore how Southern landscape painters captured the terrain of the American South.

Special attention will be given to artists who frequently explored and sketched the wilds of the Blue Ridge Mountains. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: A Slow Art Experience
DESCRIPTION:Take time for yourself for a special series we are calling Lunch & Learn: A Slow Art Experience. \nWhat is Slow Art?  \nMost of us stroll through an art gallery\, pausing at a piece of art for a few moments before moving on to the next\, like some form of visual buffet. Slow Art as a concept was created to encourage us all to stay with the art for a little longer\, savor\, and soak it in. The hope is that we not only see more\, but also get to know the works in greater detail. Exploring artworks more slowly can help us to form more stories\, feelings\, and opinions about the works. \nWebsite
