What is going on in this picture? This interestingly titled 18th-century painting by French artist Nicolas Lancret will be one of the works Museum Director Jon Seydl will discuss at this month's Art Talk Thursday.

Art Talk Thursday is a new programming series that brings you the opportunity to learn about art at Krannert Art Museum in a social, relaxed atmosphere. This month's event will feature Museum Director Jon Seydl, talking about works of art in the collection that he finds most intriguing.

Every month during the academic year, a KAM staff member will give an accessible 30-minute presentation highlighting art in the museum’s collection or in one of our special exhibitions. 

After the talk, you can continue the conversation while enjoying refreshments at a light reception, including a cash bar to liven up the mood. Annual members will be treated to a beverage of their choice on us—just bring your member card.
