LECTURE & DISCUSSION

This lecture & discussion are from an evening with Friday Arts Project in October 2011.

A subject that has been discussed for millennia, “Beauty” is still important today…maybe more so. But WHAT is it? Why is it important? And how is it related to the Art community and the non-artist community? Is it mere “window dressing”—confined to that which we see in the visible world, or is it perhaps a deeper thing? What is the source of Beauty? Is it a brute power—in and of itself—like “the Force” in Star Wars? Is it even valuable to simple everyday life?

This event was the subject of our October 2011 Newsletter.

Presented in partnership with:
