About Last Night

Terry Teachout on the arts in New York City

TT: One more once

March 4, 2005 by Terry Teachout

This is your last warning: I’m giving two lectures next week in Washington, D.C., and you’re cordially invited to attend either or both.


– On Monday, March 7, at 5:30, I’ll be delivering a Bradley Lecture at the American Enterprise Institute. The topic is “The Problem of Political Art.” (C-SPAN will be videotaping this lecture for broadcast on a later date.) For more information, go here.


– On Wednesday, March 9, at 6:30, I’ll be delivering a Duncan Phillips Lecture under the auspices of the Phillips Collection at the Women’s National Democratic Club. The topic is “Multiple Modernisms: What a Novice Collector Learned from Duncan Phillips,” and five prints from the Teachout Museum (by Milton Avery, Jane Freilicher, John Marin, Fairfield Porter, and Neil Welliver) will be on display. Advance reservations are required. For more information, go here.


Come up and see me some time!


P.S. I won’t be toting my iBook to and from Washington, so my presence on the blog next week is likely to be sketchy at best.
