Greetings!
Happy New Year!

What do the arts mean for non-artists?   How do they make a difference in our lives?

Join us in January as Cambridge Forum continues its new series "My Life Touched 
by Art."    We cannot all be artists, but our lives are all  touched by art.  Meet
some people who have "rubbed shoulders with art" throughout their careers, starting
with
Wendy Lesser on January 22.

Why I Read: The Serious Pleasure of Books

January 22 @ 7pm

Author and essayist Wendy Lesser explores the ways that  literature and, especially,
poetry touch readers and change their  lives, as she discusses her latest book Why
I Read.   In a culture that is increasingly visual and virtual in  orientation, 
what role does old-fashioned reading play?  What power does  the written word have
in our lives?

This program is part of the series of  My Life Touched by Art, supported by a grant
from the Cambridge  Arts Council and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a public
agency.

Stolen Art

Art security expert Anthony Amore discusses the  crime of art theft and the ways
 that the intangible value of the stolen  objects affects efforts to locate and 
retrieve them.  Conservator Ingrid Neumanjoins the conversation to explore the threat
that theft poses to the physical materials that art works are made from.


What makes stealing art different from other kinds of theft?  How  does the art 
itself change the way its caretakers-the security expert or  the conservator-approach
their jobs?

February 5 @ 7pm
