The 2007-2008 program season, “Scholars Speak,” features art scholars who give voice to the obvious, and not so obvious relationships that influence and inspire these creative processes. Exhibitions, book signings, and ‘artist salon talks’ enrich the colorful dialogue. The season kicks off with a weekend celebration of filmmakers and their films!
