Art Insights: The American Environment in the 20th Century

Art Insights provides a historical and enlightening art-enrichment experience for older members of the community who are unable to visit the Art Institute in person. The Art Institute is pleased to partner with Well Connected’s Museums at Home series to provide virtual slideshows and telephone-based Art Insights conversations on a national scale. To participate in this program, you will need a telephone or a computer with internet access.

Art Institute of Chicago volunteer lecturer Kit Keane leads a lively discussion of ways in which American artists of the 20th century portray our country’s culture, landscape, and diversity of people and places. Transformative events, technology, and social movements stirred the art community in the same way our daily lives were “stirred” while growing up during this remarkable and memorable century.

This virtual presentation is hosted by Well Connected, a nonprofit community of adults 60+ who connect via phone- or computer-based conversations, lectures, classes, games, and much more.
