FREE Art (and) History from a Queer Perspective Classes - Series #8
4 Mondays • 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. • Virtual & in-person
Our popular queer art history series is back! Join us in December and January at our Center, located on 522 West Maple Street, Allentown, PA 18101. Instructor Liz Bradbury, MFA invites you to enjoy these free classes that are open to everyone. Each class is standalone, so there's no need to attend every class if your schedule does not permit. Sit back, learn new things, and enjoy free themed snacks. Attend with old friends (or on your own) - and maybe make some new friends in the class!
These classes will also be held virtually, so please email [email protected] for the Zoom information. Masks are required for in-person classes. More information about the individual classes can be found below:
