SUMMARY:Beyond the Muddy Cloak: The Brilliance of Sir Walter Raleigh

A dinner with Engel will take place at 5:45 p.m\, followed by the lecture at 7 p.m. \nEngel reveals details of Raleigh’s fascinating life as an author\, explorer\, and courtier who deserves to be celebrated for far more than his muddy cloak. Using anecdotes\, analysis\, and a large dose of humor\, he brings this remarkable historical figure to life again. \nEngel lives in Raleigh\, North Carolina\, where he has taught at NC State University\, the University of North Carolina\, and Duke University. He earned an MA and Ph.D. from UCLA and was awarded that university’s Outstanding Teacher Award. He has written 10 books published in England\, Japan\, Turkey\, and the United States. His mini-lecture series on Charles Dickens aired on PBS stations nationwide. His articles have appeared in numerous newspapers and national magazines. He has lectured throughout the United States and on all the continents\, including Antarctica. He was inducted into the Royal Society of Arts in England in 2009 for his academic work and service in promoting Charles Dickens. \nTickets to the dinner and lecture are $50. Dinner reservations must be made in advance. Tickets to the lecture alone are $25.

SUMMARY:Art Talk | Willie Anne Wright: Artist and Alchemist
DESCRIPTION:Curator Dr. Sarah Kennel will discuss the exhibit\, “Willie Anne Wright: Artist and Alchemist\,” on Thursday\, Feb. 11\, at Piedmont Arts. A reception will be held at 6:30 p.m.\, followed by the talk at 7 p.m. \nCelebrate groundbreaking\, internationally renowned photographer and painter Willie Anne Wright\, whose remarkable career spans more than six decades. Presenting 63 photographs and nine paintings by the Richmond\, Virginia\, native\, this is the first major exhibition to explore the trajectory of her impressive 60-year career. \nFrom playful and irreverent scenes of everyday life to ethereal evocations of the past\, Wright’s experimental paintings and photographs examine pop culture\, feminine identity\, the pull of history\, and the shifting cultural landscape of the South. \nWith a focus on photography’s role in shaping collective understandings of history\, place\, and gender\, the exhibition draws from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts’ recent acquisition of Wright’s work\, including more than 230 photographs and 10 paintings\, as well as a comprehensive artist archive. \nThis exhibit was organized by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts and curated by Kennel\, the Aaron Siskind curator of photography and director of the Raysor Center. \nThis event is free and open to the public. RSVP by Wednesday\, Feb. 10. \nImage: “Anne S at Jack B’s Pool (Back)” (detail)\, 1984\, Willie Anne Wright (American\, born 1924)\, silver dye bleach print\, 11 x 14 in.
