Description:

A former high school librarian, current graduate student in Art History will lead a light discussion of "look fors" in selected pieces by some of the Masters (with the intention to focus on messages of balance, healing, strengthening, and building bridges across humanity.)

Noon arrival is optional:  Sign-in as early as 12:00 noon at Garden Cafe in the West Wing of the National Gallery of Art. Look for the Red Cornell sign.  (We'll number fewer than 20 in total.) Our leader asks you to introduce your guest to others and congratulate our guests on achieving lives of meaning through service to others and the ongoing development of their valued expertise.

12:20 pm:  We'll announce a few "look fors" previewed at the learning link above, and begin our slow walking tour of about 60 - 75 minutes. For a focus on 17th and 18th century art by the Northern Europeans, we'll go upstairs to Rooms 42-50C (lavender on the map.) Keeping in mind that our event may have to be squeezed into a guest's lunchtime, it is fine to break off and depart at any time that you must.

1:30 pm  (optional):  Folks can continue to walk about the National Gallery of Art on their own, or to socialize over coffee or lunch downstairs at the Espresso and Gelato Bar or Cascade Cafe on the concourse between the East and  West buildings. Menus and Info.

All Cornellians are welcome to show some gesture of thanks to our honorees when we gather.  Buy 'em coffee? Give a handshake. Mean your thanks.
