ARTalk: Art and Science on Mount Washington Offered in collaboration with the Mount Washington Observatory Sunday, October 16, 2 p.m. Artists and scientists have shared a passion for exploring New Hampshire’s iconic Mount Washington and the White Mountains. Andrew Spahr, Currier director of collections and exhibitions, will discuss how the artists of the mid-19th century promoted an early interest in New Hampshire’s White Mountains and consequently stirred the growth of tourism in the region. Inez McDermott, professor of art history at New England College, will discuss the role Mount Washington played in some of America's earliest photographic experiments and how the new medium helped scientists, artists and the growing tourism industry. Will Broussard, education coordinator at Mount Washington Observatory, will share highlights of important collaborations between scientists and artists in the early research of the White Mountains and discuss past and current climate research at the Home of the World’s Worst Weather.
