Drinks with the Director LIVE

  • Polk Museum of Art 800 E Palmetto St Lakeland, FL 33801 US (map)

Come have "Drinks with the Director" LIVE at the Museum on Thursday, March 28 at 6 pm!

Pioneers & Provocateurs of (Art) History

What does it take to get your name in the history books? Do you have to do it first? Or do you just have to do it most loudly? Perhaps it’s a mix of both — or neither. Art history is filled with figures and whole peoples who transformed the world and the way we think about our world in profound ways. But when all is said and done, who gets written into — or left out of — the narrative of art history often depends on who lays claim to being the most pioneering or the most provocative.

Join us LIVE at the Museum on Thursday, March 28, for a special interactive program, conversation, and Q&A with Executive Director Alex Rich and our panel of experts as they travel through time to ponder the pioneers and provocateurs who made — or should have made — a splash in the history of art . . . Who will make the list? And will you agree?

Have a pioneer or provocateur you want the panel to discuss? Submit your suggestion along with your RSVP.
