Osher learning

Published: November 5, 2009

The Rutland Area Osher Lifelong Learning Institute’s fall lecture series is held from 1:30 to 3 p.m. on Friday afternoons at the Godnick Adult Center, 1 Deer St. (off Woodstock Avenue) in Rutland.

“American Art Since 1900 – The Rise to International Dominance” continues with Dr. Russell Housman presenting “Post World War II and Manhattan – The New York Explosion of the Arts” on Friday, Nov. 6. Following World War II, New York City, with its great museums and private galleries, becomes the Mecca of the Arts and spawns numerous artists.

The New York scene is born and flourishes.

Housman received a doctorate from NYU, and is professor emeritus of art at SUNY, Nassau.

Memberships may be purchased at any session. Purchase of a $40 membership card entitles you to attend the 12 sessions during the fall term. Non-members may attend individual sessions for $5 at the door. Reservations are not required.
