ARTSMART LUNCH & LEARN AT THE KRAVIS CENTER RESUMES JANUARY 11TH
Guests to join in-person or virtually to hear “Fascinating Lives of America’s First Ladies”
(West Palm Beach, Fla.) – The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts will begin hosting socially-distanced community events in the Gimelstob Ballroom in the Cohen Pavilion, starting with the popular ArtSmart Lunch & Learn series on Monday, January 11 at 11:30 a.m. The first of the series, which also offers a virtual option, will begin with “Fascinating Lives of America’s First Ladies: Little Known Stories of Triumph, Tragedy and Intrigue,” presented by Dr. Robert Watson, historian, professor and political commentator.
ArtSmart Lunch & Learn guests will join Dr. Watson for an in-depth look at the real women behind the White House doors and their long history of important accomplishments. Many in this diverse group of women wielded real influence, from lobbying Congress to serving as the President’s trusted counselor. Some struggled with public life, others embraced it and flourished.
“We are excited to bring our annual ArtSmart Lunch & Learn series back to the Kravis Center,” said Judith Mitchell, Kravis Center CEO. “For those who are attending in person, safety is our top priority and we are following all CDC guidelines. Whether you are tuning in from home or attending in person, we look forward to bringing you this lively lecture surrounding the triumphs, tragedies and intrigue of a series of women who were all First Ladies.”
