This season Cindy and Stacey will explore “Breaking the Mold: Influencers in Art and Literature” with the spotlight on rebel rapscallion artists and authors and their revolutionary works.

Darkness Lurks: Could there be a bigger influencer than Caravaggio?  We think not.  Let’s dig into the infamous criminal artist and look at those who interpreted his innovations, including his use of chiaroscuro, and over-the-top theatricality. So much to see! Baroque artists Artemisia Gentileschi and Georges de la Tour, 20th century painters Lucien Freud, Peter Doig and Cecily Brown. Meanwhile, lurking in the shadows, we’ll reveal the plotting brilliant darkness of Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley. This incredible author and her virtuoso counterpart and criminal mastermind, Tom, still influencing writers on page and screen. Reader beware! 

Doors will open at 9:15 am for you to enjoy a coffee with friends. At 10 am we shall start.
