The Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art invites you to attend an in-person Humanities Kansas lecture by Kansas Poet Laureate Emeritus Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg, Thursday, February 17, 2022, at 5:30 p.m. in the UMB Theater.
This timely presentation features photographer Stephen Locke’s vibrant images of Kansas weather paired with poetry by contemporary Kansas writers inspired by the drama that unfolds in the Kansas sky. We’ll discuss our own weather-related stories and how weather shapes our lives, understanding of the natural world, and identity. The museum’s current exhibition, Sunrise over Kansas: John Steuart Curry, will be an added inspiration for the conversation.
This event is part of the Beach Museum of Art’s annual program series, Art in Motion: a tribute to Marianna’s love for lifelong learning! Marianna Kistler Beach believed in the value of art and the importance of cross-cultural understanding. The museum offers the Art in Motion programs in celebration of her work and leadership.
