We’re hosting a special book talk! The Picture of Dorian Gray will discuss Oscar Wilde’s masterpiece novel. Wilde is well remembered today for his clever witticisms, flamboyant personality and trenchant social criticism. His life and lifestyle have been the subject of plays, films, and books, but far too few are familiar with his unequalled literary heritage. Join us, first by reading his masterpiece novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), which is totally relevant to our world today, and then by coming to class for a one-hour lecture followed by a book discussion. Discussion questions will be sent one week in advance of the class. Format: In person. Instructor: Sure Fox. Date and Time: August 24, 10 a.m.

Few Biblical characters have so captured the imagination over the millennia as King David. But what do we really know about him? Our spotlight lecture King David: Warrior, Lover, Movie Star will combine Biblical text, history and archaeology to give us a better sense of who David was and what he actually did. The lecture will close by exploring how Hollywood has made him an A-List movie star over the last century of cinema. Format: In person. Instructor: Jehon Grist. Date and Time: August 12, 2 p.m.

Join us for our in-depth lecture Women Artists: Impressionism & Abstract Expressionism! Women are often overlooked from two important art movements: Impressionism and Abstract Expressionism. Today while male contemporaries like Monet, Manet, Po***ck and de Kooning are household names, fewer are familiar with Morisot, Bracquemond, or Krasner. These women dared to enter the male-dominated world of painting--not as muses but as artists. Instructor: Diane Levinson. Format: In person. Date and Time: July 29, 10 a.m. - 12 p.m.
