Smithsonian American Art Museum
Each year the museum is fortunate to take on an admirable group of fellows. They are a studious bunch--from the clicking of keyboards and aroma of strong coffee wafting from their office its certain something impressive will come of their efforts, but we're never quite sure just what is brewing behind those doors. Luckily each spring they gather to share their findings. The 2012 Fellows' Lectures in American Art will present scholarship on a range of topics from Gilded Age portrait photography to the role of fine art in 1960s corporate advertising. A full schedule is online at AmericanArt.si.edu. You don't have to be a scholar to attend, but perhaps you'll feel a little more scholarly when you leave!
