New Lunch Time Lecture Series at Guilford Art Center
"Art a la carte" Explores Craft Techniques

A new series of lunch-time lectures is being offered at Guilford Art Center, focusing on the fine craft and art techniques. Art a la carte features discussions of various art forms by Art Center faculty members and visiting artists. Sessions are held on Tuesday afternoons from 12-1pm. Each week will explore a different topic, through conversation, visuals and demonstration. Attendees can sign up for one or all of the sessions, and should bring a brown-bag lunch for the get-together.

"Many people are intrigued by the different art forms we teach at the Center, but would appreciate an introductory lecture before signing up for a class," explains Ann Person, the Art Center's Youth and Community Program Coordinator. "Or they just want to find out more about a particular craft. These sessions are a great introduction, and also a chance for people to take a lunch break with like-minded friends."

Art a la carte pre-registration is $9 per session, or $12 at the door. Seating is limited; pre-registration is recommended. All sessions are from 12-1pm.
