This episode of Conversations in the Arts, The Arts and Propoganda, was presented live at the Huntington Arts Council's Main Street Gallery on November 14, 2019, at 7:00 pm.
Art may be used to persuade. It is not objective, and is rarely the unadulterated self-expression of individual genius. It may be part of the agendas and demands of others, and is a powerful method of expressing a point of view.
Panelists: Barbara Applegate, Director, Steinberg Museum of Art/LIU Post
Leonard Lehrman, Founder & Director, The Metropolitan Philharmonic Chorus
John Torres, Director & Actor/Eastline Theatre
Moderator Marc Courtade, Executive Director/Huntington Arts Council.
Conversations in the Arts has evolved into an ongoing program by the Huntington Arts Council to stimulate and promote the arts. These participatory talks featuring artists and scholars from our community, will enrich our arts experiences and help us to more fully understand the values and contributions the arts have made, and continue to make, to society. Conversations will be held monthly as engaged inquiries and dialogues used to explore ideas, facilitate collaborations and networking opportunities. Open to the public.
