New Twist on Art for Lunch

Many people have come to expect a great lecture or presentation the first Wednesday of every month as part of Art for Lunch. However, things will be slightly different for tomorrow's Art for Lunch....

Booth staff members Robert Hyde and Leonard Gandy, along with Tommy Culpepper and Gary Turner, will present “Civil War Camp Life” in the Booth Ballroom - - instead of the typical Booth Theatre location.

The four gentlemen will dress in Civil War uniforms and will have original artifacts from the Civil War as well as authentic equipment and supplies soldiers in camp would have had. The program will highlight what went on in camp during the Civil War – including the boredom and hardships which were endured. The program will also tie into several art pieces we have in our permanent collection at the Booth Museum.

Also new to the typical Art for Lunch, we will offer lunch for purchase in the Booth Ballroom. For $7, visitors can have an all-you-can-eat soup and salad bar with a drink, or have a sandwich (turkey, ham or chicken salad) with chips, cookie and a drink.

We are expecting a large crowd due to the topic and great lunch selection being offered, so be sure to get here in plenty of time to make it to the 12:15 pm Art for Lunch.

Hope to see you there!
