Artist To Speak at Ventfort Hall

Print Story | Email Story
LENOX, Mass. — Join painter, sculptor and author Lincoln Perry for a talk about not only some of the world's greatest art, but how an artist views, experiences and borrows from that art in his recently published book, "Seeing Like An Artist." 
 
A tea will follow his presentation.
 
His talk will describe some of the formal and metaphoric lessons taught by art encountered in museums, with the understanding that such "advice" can help non-artists more fully enjoy what they see as well. His book is currently on sale in the gift shop.
 
Perry has been painting and sculpting for roughly half a century. He has shown around the country, as well as doing murals in Washington, D.C, St. Louis, Tallahassee, Florida and at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia. 
 
Tickets are $30 for members and with advance reservation; $35 day of; $22 for students 22 and under. Reservations are strongly encouraged as seats are limited. Walk-ins accommodated as space allows. For reservations visit https://gildedage.org/events/ or call at (413) 637-3206. 
 
All tickets are nonrefundable and non-exchangeable. The historical mansion is located at 104 Walker Street in Lenox.
