SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - Antiquities Lecture: When Women Ruled The World
DESCRIPTION:Seats for this program are sold out.\nWhen Women Ruled The World \nA woman’s power in the ancient world (and much of human history) was always compromised from the outset\, but who were the women who once ruled the richest and most successful state of the ancient Mediterranean during the Bronze Age? Ancient Egyptian female kings\, including Hatshepsut and Nefertiti\, really did rule against all odds. Given this social reality in the ancient world\, how then did women negotiate roles or power and authority? Addressing some of the causes of social inequality in this lecture\, Prof. Kara Cooney will go beyond myth and legend to shed light on these female pharaohs and reveal their historical legacy. \nSponsored by Charles & Elizabeth Lyman\nLectures are offered free with the cost of daily admission: \n\nArt+ Museum Members: Free\nNot-Yet-Members: $25\nCollege Students: Free\n\nKara Cooney is a professor of ancient Egyptian art and architecture and chair of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at the University of California\, Los Angeles. Specializing in social history\, gender studies\, and economies of the ancient world\, she received her PhD in Egyptology from Johns Hopkins University. Her books include The Woman Who Would Be King: Hatshepsut’s Rise to Power in Ancient Egypt\, When Women Ruled the World: Six Queens of Egypt\, and The Good Kings: Absolute Power in Ancient Egypt and the Modern World. Her latest books include Recycling for Death: Coffin Reuse in Ancient Egypt and the Theban Royal Caches\, Ancient Egyptian Society: Challenging Assumptions\, Exploring Approaches\, and Coffin Commerce. \n  \nImage Caption: Bust of Nefertiti (Plaster sculpture\, replica; Egypt; Modern\, 1933).

SUMMARY:Artist Lecture - Radical Softness: The Responsive Art of Janet Echelman
DESCRIPTION:Radical Softness: The Responsive Art of Janet Echelman\nJoin us for a lecture with Janet Echelman\, an artist featured in the exhibition Avant Garde: Remarkable Women in the Permanent Collection. Echelman creates experiential sculpture at the scale of buildings that transform with wind and light. The art shifts from being an object you look at\, to something you can get lost in. Her work defies categorization as it intersects disciplinary boundaries\, from Sculpture\, Architecture\, and Urban Design to Material Science\, Computer Science\, Engineering\, and Performance. Using unlikely materials from knotted fiber and atomized water particles to choreographed dancers\, Echelman combines ancient craft with original computational design software to create artworks that have become focal points for urban life on five continents. \nSponsored by Carey Forward Foundation\nLectures are offered free with the cost of daily admission: \n\nArt+ Museum Members: Free\nNot-Yet-Members: $25\nCollege Students: Free\n\nRSVP for this program \nJanet Echelman sculpts at the scale of buildings and city blocks\, creating large-scale\, fluid installations that merge art\, architecture\, and engineering to anchor public spaces across five continents five continents. Her work transforms with wind and light\, inviting viewers into immersive experiences rather than static observation. Echelman uses unlikely materials—from atomized water particles to fiber stronger than steel—blending traditional craft with advanced computational design. Echelman’s unconventional path includes five years living in a Balinese village\, graduate studies in both painting and psychology\, and teaching at MIT\, Harvard\, and Princeton. Oprah ranked Echelman’s work #1 on her List of 50 Things That Make You Say Wow!\, and she received the Guggenheim Fellowship\, and the Smithsonian American Ingenuity Award in Visual Arts\, honoring “the greatest innovators in America today.” For more information visit www.echelman.com \n  \nImage Caption: Photograph by Amy Martz

SUMMARY:Lecture - Faces of Power: Stories Behind Portraits on Greek and Roman Coins
DESCRIPTION:Faces of Power: Stories Behind Portraits on Greek and Roman Coins\nAncient Greek and Roman coins preserve some of the most widespread portraits from antiquity\, showing how rulers wanted to be seen by their people and how artistic styles changed over the centuries. As the main way ordinary people saw the faces of kings\, emperors\, and rulers\, coins remain key evidence for understanding ancient propaganda\, political symbols\, and portrait styles. The relevance of this topic clear by the debate today about who should appear on modern currency\, from Queen Elizabeth II to proposals for a coin showing a portrait of President Trump. \nLectures are offered free with the cost of daily admission: \n\nArt+ Museum Members: Free\nNot-Yet-Members: $25\nCollege Students: Free\n\nRSVP for this program \nUte Wartenberg is the Sydney F. Martin Executive Director of the American Numismatic Society (ANS). During her time at the ANS\, the institution has grown into one of the world’s leading numismatic institutions\, with an outstanding team of researchers and staff. A Rhodes Scholar\, she earned her D.Phil. in Classics from Oxford. \nA distinguished scholar and prolific author specializing in ancient Greek coinage\, Wartenberg served as Curator of Greek Coins at the British Museum (1991–1998) before joining ANS. She has taught at Oxford University and Columbia University and lectured across Europe and the US. Her curatorial work includes numerous exhibitions\, most recently “When Coinage was born.” Treasures from Zhuyuetang Collection\, which opened at the Casa de la Moneda in Madrid in 2025. Her current research projects involve a monograph on Persian coinage\, the publication of Electrum Coins in the Hellenic National Museum in Athens\, and the publication of the excavation coins of the Kerameikos in Athens (with Selene Psoma). \nWartenberg chaired the US Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee (2003–2007); currently serves as President of the International Numismatic Council (since 2022)\, was Chair of ICOMON (2019–2022)\, and is on the board of the Saint-Gaudens Memorial and the Glyptothek in Munich. \n  \nImage Caption: Deified head of Alexander the Great (bound with royal fillet\, wearing ram horn of Ammon).

SUMMARY:You Can’t Step Into The Same River Twice: Carol Mickett\, Robert Stackhouse\, and Charles Atlas
DESCRIPTION:You Can’t Step Into The Same River Twice:\nCarol Mickett\, Robert Stackhouse\, and Charles Atlas\nTime changes everything: the natural world\, the human world\, and our perception. For the contemporary world\, the question is how can we ensure that “the river” keeps flowing and remains healthy? Carol Mickett and Robert Stackhouse make art about water and highlight the unperceived ways in which the natural world enhances the human world and mitigates the consequences of our way of life. Their talk will merge art and science through a visual journey of their collaborative work. The talk will conclude with a conversation with curator Joanna Robotham about the overlapping themes of their work and that of Charles Atlas’ installation Kiss the Day Goodbye. \nLectures are offered free with the cost of daily admission: \n\nArt+ Museum Members: Free\nNot-Yet-Members: $25\nCollege Students: Free\n\nRSVP for this program \n \n  \nCarol Mickett and Robert Stackhouse are a collaborative art team. They make 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional art focused on water\, climate\, and ways members of the natural world mitigate the consequences of contemporary life. Museums\, private collectors\, developers\, and governments collect and commission their work. Their show Circle of Water inaugurated the Florida Wildlife Corridor Gallery\, Wild Space. They were Artists-At-Sea aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s ocean-research vessel Falkor and participated in the exhibition Artist At Sea during Art Basel Miami Beach at the Patricia Frost Museum of Science sponsored by UNESCO\, Schmidt Ocean Institute\, and Nautilus. WEDU’s (FL Public Television) 8-part YouTube and broadcast digital series\, High Water Marks\, “explores how their art and activism intersect to bring awareness and understanding to issues facing our environment.” They received an NEA grant (via Creative Pinellas) for their community project Cool Pinellas and were included in Skyway 2024 at the Ringling Museum of Art. Their art collaboration is enhanced by their individual accomplishments. Carol Mickett holds a Ph.D. in philosophy and worked for over a decade in academia. She has published essays\, poems\, and interviews. Carol was the host/curator of the on-going series Our Town at the Dali Museum and the Art Laureate Conversations for Creative Pinellas and was host/producer of Art Radio in Kansas City\, MO. Robert Stackhouse earned his B.A. from USF\, holds an MA in art from the University of Maryland and an honorary doctorate from University of South Florida. His individual work can be found in museum collections around the world including the Museum of Modern Art\, the National Gallery in Washington\, DC\, and The National Gallery of Australia among others. Stackhouse’s work is currently in the Ringling Museum of Art’s exhibition As Earth is to Sky. \n  \nImage Caption: Charles Atlas (American\, b. 1949)\, Kiss the Day Goodbye\, 2015.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture - Ta Megala Theria: Heavy Metal Music’s Reception of Mythological Adversaries
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Lecture – Ta Megala Theria: Heavy Metal Music’s Reception of Mythological Adversaries\nTransgressive and oppositional figures have always exercised fascination and admiration in heavy metal music\, from Ozzy the Prince of Darkness to the Devil himself. While the genre has traditionally signaled its rebellious ethos within a Christian paradigm through satanic themes and imagery\, more and more bands have embraced analogous elements from pre-Christian mythologies of the ancient Mediterranean and Near East. Primordial\, chaotic\, and chthonic antagonists such as Apophis\, Tiamat\, and Typhon resonate as embodiments of the metal underground and its antipathy to the latter-day sky gods\, i.e. the established institutions of order\, conformity\, and control. Heavy metal not merely retells their myths\, but even creates new versions where they ultimately triumph. \nRSVP for this virtual lecture \nJeremy Swist is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Romance & Classical Studies at Michigan State University\, having earned his PhD in Classics from the University of Iowa. He has published research on pagan prose authors under the later Roman Empire\, including the emperor Julian in his new book Julian Augustus: Platonism\, Myth\, and the Refounding of Rome with Oxford University Press. He also studies\, organizes conferences\, and now teaches college courses on the prolific reception of ancient Greece\, Rome\, and Byzantium in heavy metal music. \n  \n  \n  \nImage Caption: Typhon (detail).

SUMMARY:Ancient Athenian Ceramics:  Through the Eyes of a Conservator
DESCRIPTION:Ancient Athenian Ceramics: Through the Eyes of a Conservator \nIn 1965\, Joseph Veach Noble’s book The Techniques of Painted Attic Pottery transformed the study of painted ceramics from ancient Athens. His careful examination of the structures and surfaces of these renowned and iconic objects continues to be one of the most cited scholarly references even today. In the sixty years since that publication\, new scientific and technical insights have both enhanced and challenged Noble’s study\, bringing us even closer to the craft\, creativity and technical genius of the potters and painters who produced ceramics in Athens thousands of years ago. This lecture re-examines Noble’s work\, this time by looking through the eyes of a conservator. New perspectives from the fields of experimental archaeology\, materials science and art conservation allow us to glimpse the working lives of these ancient makers with even more clarity than before. Integrating these innovative new understandings of the ancient potters’ and painters’ artistic expertise and technical know-how also lets us see this broad range of ancient people in their fuller humanity. \nLectures are offered free with the cost of daily admission: \n\nArt+ Museum Members: Free\nNot-Yet-Members: $25\nCollege Students: Free\n\nRSVP for this program \n \nSanchita Balachandran is the director of the Smithsonian’s Museum Conservation Institute (MCI)\, a national research center dedicated to the preservation of cultural heritage. She is an art conservator whose research explores how the technical study and conservation of archaeological items brings us closer to the lived experiences of ancient people. Before joining the Smithsonian in 2024\, Balachandran was Director of the Johns Hopkins Archaeological Museum and Associate Teaching Professor at Johns Hopkins University. She earned a bachelor’s degree in art history from Pomona College\, a master’s degree in art history and an advanced certificate in art conservation from New York University\, and a doctorate in preservation studies from the University of Delaware. Balachandran is a fellow of the American Institute for Conservation (AIC) and the recipient of the AIC’s Rutherford Gettens Award for outstanding service. Her research has been recognized through a James Marsden Fitch Residency at the American Academy in Rome; the Bard Graduate Center’s Iris Outstanding Mid-Career Scholar Award; a Conservation Guest Scholar residency at the Getty Conservation Institute\, and a Fulbright Award to India. \n  \nImage Caption: Woman with Oil Flask at Tomb (detail).
