VISITING ARTIST LECTURE SERIES: FELIPE HORTA
Thu, Nov. 3 at 6 pm, included with admission
Felipe Horta has been creating traditional Mexican masks for over 30 years. Hailing from the Tócuaro region of Mexico, his main drive to continue making masks is to keep the traditions of the Purepecha people alive. The program begins with a reception, and a presentation of Horta's work. It ends with a private tour of the "Dancing with Life: Mexican Masks," exhibit which contains several of Horta's handcrafted masks.

Sun, Nov. 13 at 2 pm, $10 suggested donation
In this installment of the MAC's art history lecture series, Dr. Meredith T. Shimizu from Whitworth University considers impressionist paintings by William Merritt Chase and how he subtly expressed the rise of a new feminine identity in the late 19th century through his artwork.
ROBERT HENRI: IMPRESSIONS OF AMERICAN DIVERSITY
Sun, Jan. 8 at 2 pm, $10 suggested donation
Dr. Meredith Shimizu returns to the MAC to discuss the lack of diversity in 20th-century American art — a trend that the works of painter Robert Henri bucked. Henri often painted portraits of people from diverse backgrounds, and Shimizu seeks to highlight his efforts and celebrate cultural diversity in art.
