Explore history through art. Each week you will meet a different artist or artist contemporary who will showcase the historical and social context of Renaissance Germany, Edo-period Japan, early 20th century Paris, and others.

Your virtual time travel will be reinforced by the instructor’s period-appropriate costumes.

Wednesdays at 10:30 AM
