Benjamin Forgey Lecture This Wednesday

I grew up in D.C. and have always been fascinated by the architecture here. Sometimes brilliant, sometimes a muddle, and always written about by Benjamin Forgey in the Washington Post. Forgey kicks off this year's Clarice Smith Distinguished Lectures in American Art series this Wednesday night with a talk entitled Changing Context: Architecture in Washington. His talk takes place in our McEvoy Auditorium at 7 p.m.

The next two Clarice Smith lectures will be given by scholar David C. Driskell on Wednesday, October 10 and artist James Rosenquist on Wednesday, November 28.
