For the fourth year, the CMFA is proud to present
its Summer lectures by distinguished artists, historians and
collectors. We are
featuring three topics this year, all of which are pertinent to the
museum’s on-going discussion of this region’s role in the history
of American art.
Each lecture begins at 7:00PM and will last about one hour. The museum’s galleries will be open to lecture attendees by
6:00PM . Admission is $12
( $10 for CMFA members) and includes gallery admission.
CMFA members are also eligible for the ART DISCOVERY
DISCOUNT CARD which
provides 10 admissions to all Lecture and Tuesdays with the Muse
programs for $6.50 each throughout the year.
