Idea Lounge In February! Marianne Hirsch and Candice Koseba discuss Art Therapy, Beekeeping and more

Wednesday, February 26, 7-8 PM (Doors open at 6:30)

$15/members; $20 non-members

What is the Idea Lounge?

The Idea Lounge pairs two speakers who may have never met. One speaker is from the arts and the other is not. For twenty minutes each, the speakers present an aspect of their lives which may include how they chose their professions, how people or circumstances inspired them, or decisions they made that changed their lives. The audience has equal time to uncover the commonalities between two seemingly disparate topics and career paths.
