Did you know that Queen Victoria loved to pick up chicken to eat with her greasy fingers or that Queen Elizabeth uses tupperware as a serving dish at breakfast? What about Prince Charles’ reaction when he lost a cufflink? Join Andrew O'Brien for these stories and other royal idiosyncrasies during the last two hundred years.

When confronted with the concept of God, people in the United States more than likely envision a being gleaned from concepts of the populous Abrahamic traditions. Perhaps a human-like, wizened, omnipotent being from a Renaissance work of art. One of the hallmarks of this conception of divinity is that it is transcendent of the world, set apart and somewhere “out there”. This conception of divinity, along with notable historical events and movements has lent itself to perceptions of humanity being separate from nature rather than emergent from it, perpetuating environmental degradation and structural violence against marginalized communities. Many cultures, however, have understood the inverse to be true: divinity is imminent, rather than transcendent, existing alongside humanity in various forms within the natural world. So too is humanity a contributing species of a vast web of life. Furthermore, these cultures see harmony with this lattice work of life as vital to human flourishing. This course will examine the immanent conception of divinity present in extant and emergent animistic cultural traditions and how this perception can reinforce and empower communities against a rapidly changing climate.

April 30, 2026 will mark the 100th birthday of ”The Main Street of America" - U.S. Route 66. This pathway that extends from Chicago to the Pacific was one of the earliest numbered U.S. Highways and became the first completely paved transcontinental route. For decades it served as a vital link for Americans traveling east and west until it’s decommissioning in the mid-1980s. But the highway refused to die and Route 66 associations sprung up in the States it passed through, all of them celebrating its impact on the formation of modern America. Known for its colorful kitschy attractions, the roadway has been celebrated in story and song, especially for the important role it played during the Great Depression. It remains alive today by those who maintain the legacy of this storied “Mother Road,” the name bestowed upon it by John Steinbeck in his classic work The Grapes of Wrath.

Amanda Lear — fashion model, disco singer and muse to Salvador Dalí  — for years has insisted that rumors of her being transgender were a publicity stunt cooked up by Dalí.

In this talk, Margo Hammond will discuss her play about this enigmatic figure titled “I Am A Mistery” (which is the title of one of Lear’s gender-bending disco songs), why she chose to cast two females and one male to play Lear and how society’s obsession with gender became her theme. 

Margo's play, directed by Bob Devin Jones, will debut at the Dalí on October 7, with performances at the Studio@620 on October 11 and 12, starring Eugenie Bondurant, Michael Gregory, Mary Rachel and Jim Sorensen. *Please note, these dates are printed in the catalog incorrectly as October 10 and 11.

The Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union would eventually culminate with extraordinary aircraft called Super Fighters. The U.S. would develop the first two Super Fighters the F-14 Tomcat and the F-15 Eagle. These two aircraft would inspire the Russians to develop its own Super Fighter the SU 27. These aircraft and other aircraft would redefine air dominance during the Cold War and beyond. This lecture will delve into where the Super Fighter came from, some of the people who helped develop it, and the Super Fighter in action.

In 1789, George Washington signed the Judiciary Act created by Congress, establishing the United States Supreme Court. Originally designed as a tribunal of six justices to arbitrate disputes between the States, the Court grew in stature and power under the leadership of John Marshall who served as Chief Justice from 1801 to 1835. His opinions helped to lay the basis for Constitutional Law and established the Court as a co-equal with the Legislative and Executive Branches of Government. Today the court touches the lives of every American in ways the Founding Fathers could not have foreseen. Indeed, the power to make appointments to the Court has become a main issue of Presidential elections for the past several decades. Our session will examine the history of the Court, its obligations and many of the controversial decisions that have shaped American life as we know it in the 21st century.

This course traces the life and innovations of Nikola Tesla, from his early years and university studies in Graz and Prague to his groundbreaking work in electricity and wireless technology. We will explore his collaborations and rivalries, including his work with Thomas Edison, the “War of the Currents” between AC and DC power, and his partnership with George Westinghouse, which led to the lighting of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Key topics include Tesla’s telautomaton invention, his wireless experiments, and his race against Marconi in the development of radio. We will examine the Wardenclyffe—Tesla’s ambitious wireless transmission tower, his work during World War I with Telefunken, and his interactions with Franklin Roosevelt. We will conclude with Tesla’s later-life invention of the particle beam weapon, his negotiations to sell it to the Allies during World War II, and the mystery surrounding his secret papers after his death.

This interactive and transformative course redefines clutter, going beyond physical belongings to address life’s deeper challenges. Participants will learn to declutter conventional items like papers and clothes while also tackling "next-level" clutter—issues that arise as we age, such as health, fitness, social connections, digital overload, financial and legal planning, and life’s next steps.

During the Baroque era, females who chose to be artists worked in the genre open to them – still life painting, primarily floral arrangements. At the time, increasing urbanization and wealth of Dutch and Flemish society emphasized the home, personal possessions, commerce, trade, learning and all aspects of everyday life. Floral paintings were especially prominent and their refined execution, their subjects and their symbolism appealed to a cultivated audience. Although male artists seem to dominate this genre, it is because little attention over the years has focused on the works of the many women who made painting flowers their profession. This course will highlight and analyze the works of several female still life painters including Rachel Ruysch, Judith Leyster and Clara Peeters.

African Americans have served in every US military conflict, fighting for both their country and their own rights. From Black patriots in the Revolutionary War to the 180,000 African Americans who fought for the Union in the Civil War, their contributions have shaped American history. After the war, Black soldiers gained congressional approval to enlist in the peacetime Army, leading to the formation of the “Buffalo Soldiers.” This course traces their service from the War of 1812 to World War II, highlighting their valor in conflicts abroad and their struggle against segregation and discrimination at home. It is the story of their resilience, sacrifice, and fight for equality in a nation that often failed to recognize their service.

Degenerate Art, the Nazi regime’s descriptor for modern art, was considered un-German or Jewish Bolshevist in nature and hence banned. Artists identified as degenerate suffered severe sanctioning which included removing them from teaching posts as well as forbidding them to produce, exhibit, or sell their art. In 1937 the Nazis, intending to rouse public opinion against these artists, mounted an exhibit of degenerate artworks displayed chaotically and labeled with derisive comments. Hitler’s armies also requisitioned works of art and important cultural artifacts, hoarding them to be collected and cataloged for Germany and possibly to be destroyed. The degenerates were one of the prime targets of this effort. This class focuses on degenerate artists and their works, the German confiscation of art treasures, and the allied effort to save them.

Impressionist painters revolutionized art with a new style that emphasized changing atmospheric effects and luminous color harmonies. Their unblended brushstrokes of pure color and simple compositions broke dramatically with traditional pictorial techniques. Rejecting historical, mythological, and religious themes, they instead focused on the rapidly shifting aspects of modern life—capturing scenes from the countryside, the home, and the city. This course examines the work of Monet, Renoir, Degas, Cassatt, and Morisot from the 1860s to the 1910s, exploring their stylistic and technical innovations, personal lives, and the cultural forces shaping their artistry. Participants will gain an enhanced ability to experience nature and artistic depictions of it with a newly developed sensory, coloristic, and immersive awareness.

Rowlands’ emotionally intense acting style will be analyzed through her landmark roles in A Woman Under the Influence (1974), Opening Night (1977), and Gloria (1980). We'll also explore the collaborative nature of Cassavetes’ productions, his rejection of Hollywood conventions, and his lasting impact on contemporary filmmaking. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how Cassavetes and Rowlands redefined cinematic storytelling with emotional depth and authenticity.

It could if it wanted to, but it doesn't. Let's take a look at some of Florida's least deadly — and most deadly — creatures.

Born in Portland Maine in 1947, Stephen King is a beloved author whose books have sold over 400 million copies worldwide placing him 18th on the list of bestselling authors in history. Hundreds of millions more fans have seen the over 60 filmed adaptations of his works including such non-horror classics as Stand By Me amd The Shawshank Redemption. Fatherless since the age of two, at a young age he witnessed a horrific tragedy that many speculate set him on the path to exploring the role that fear plays in our lives. A poorly paid school teacher, he sold short stories to men’s magazines, until his breakout hit Carrie was published in 1974. Now 78, he splits his time between Maine and Florida and continues the efforts that made him an extremely wealthy man and a reputation as “The Master of Horror.”

Today, the U.S. is no longer alone; nations around the world are developing their own stealth technologies. The advent of stealth has proven to be a remarkable achievement with lasting global impact.
