Art: Out and About With Ann Wicker, art historian, artist and instructor for Johns Hopkins’ Osher program and Howard Community College NEW!

This series will bring you up close and personal with famous artworks and with brand new art! Each class has two sessions. For the first session, students will meet the instructor at Columbia Art Center for a preparatory lecture to learn how the art has context within the history of art. For the following session, students will provide their own transportation and meet the instructor at local studios, museums and galleries. Studio visits will include the Baltimore Museum of Art, the National Museum for Women in the Arts and various artists’ studios. Sessions will be held on the following dates: Sept. 23 and 30; Oct. 7 and 14; Nov. 11 and 18; Dec. 2 and 16. $55 Columbia residents/$65 nonresidents For a full itinerary of art topics and sites to be visited, please contact Columbia Art Center or visit ColumbiaArtCenter.org.
