Course Description

Instructor: Howard Cohen

Temporary shows at American museums and galleries offer a window into our current zeitgeist..

Armchair travel with Howard as he traverses the U.S. looking at eye-catching and informative current art exhibitions. Permanent collections tell us stories about how our nation, our communities, and how our culture came to be. Current (temporary) shows often express where we are where we hope to be. Art installations reflect the best we have to offer. Our optimism!

Expect to view not only major exhibits at major museums but smaller institutions that help us feel regional pride.
