Lecture: “Using Our Indoor Voices,”

Bobby Donovan, the artistic advisor to The Arts Council, will give a lecture, “Using Our Indoor Voices,” about the paintings of Paul Moscatt and the paperworks of Carlene Moscatt, currently on view in the South Hall. In the lecture, which will take place on October 16 at 4;00 pm in the auditorium, Donovan will explore the ways in which these distinctly different artists see the world, their personal expression and the forces that shape artistic vision. 

            He will look at the ebb and flow between private and public, real and imagined, chaos and order, all the while asking the question that is always being asked among artists; “What’s more important, what I see or what I know?”

​

Lecture: “The American Art Museum:

Reflections on its History, Purpose, and Future Promise.”

The next speaker in the series of Arts Council talks is Daniel Weiss, who was president and chief executive officer of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City until last year.  Weiss will speak on “The American Art Museum: Reflections on its History, Purpose, and Future Promise.” The talk is scheduled for Thursday, November 14, at 4 pm, in the auditorium. Weiss, who was previously Dean of Arts and Sciences and professor of art history at Johns Hopkins, is the author of Why the Museum Matters, among many other books. He has returned to Hopkins and is spearheading an all encompassing University-wide program in the arts.
