This winter, we are once again pleased to present a series of online art-history programs featuring Jane Oneail of Culturally Curious in Manchester. The dates and registration links for all three programs are below. If you’ve attended in the past, you’ll recall Jane as a very lively and engaging speaker who always saves time for your questions.
As we have done the past two years, we are co-hosting these events with our friends at the Canaan Town Library and the Plainfield Libraries. In Lyme, this program is made possible by the Friends of Lyme Library.
We cannot guarantee that programs will be recorded and will not announce whether they have been until after the event, in deference to our presenter and the hard work she puts into her live presentations. Thanks for understanding!

From the poetic simplicity of Jacob Lawrence to the cosmopolitan portrait photographs of James Van Der Zee, this era produced works that continue to resonate today. Discover the visionaries who gave voice to the African American experience and forever changed the landscape of American culture.

Monday, March 10, 6 pm: Don’t Judge a Library By Its Building: Library Architecture & Design There’s more to a library than just shelves and books. Careful thinking and planning has informed the interior and exterior design of libraries as they evolved from medieval stacks to modern community centers. This program will explore the good, the bad and the amazingly innovative in library architecture, with a focus on the last century. (NOTE: This final event takes place on a Monday)
