Art in Focus

The Great Stories: From Homer to Shakespeare

LECTURE & DISCUSSION

Monday, November 24 at 10am

Join Art in Focus for a presentation on the classic stories from Homer to Shakespeare and how they have impacted not only the arts, but also, culture. A mixture of live performance, film, music and painted works will be looked at throughout the presentation.

Art in Focus is an exploration of the arts through film, lecture and thoughtful dialogue for adult learners of all ages who are interested in the arts and its impact on the world. Founded in 1996 by Rita M. Ray, South Shore Arts continues this series annually with a variety of topics and guest speakers. Several lectures will coincide with upcoming Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra concerts and South Shore Arts exhibits. An important aspect of the program is the thoughtful dialogue between the program facilitator, the guest speakers and the attendees to broaden views of the arts and individuals in our world. Our goal parallels that of the U.S. Department of Education, “Learning Never Ends.” Art in Focus is open to the public and, thanks to generous support from Community Healthcare System, it is always free.
