Please join us in the Brubeck Room for another America 250 lecture, in which ArtScapades will discuss the importance of art during the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.  The focus will be on the major artists who commemorated the conflicts, working either on the battlefield or back in their studios.  They will discuss the lives and works of Charles Willson Peale, John Trumbull, Sanford Robinson Gifford, Winslow Homer, and Conrad Wise Chapman.

Robin Hoffman and Jodi Stiffelman, of ArtScapades, began teaching art appreciation in 1998. They have presented at libraries, art centers, and museums in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, and Florida.
