2025-2026 Membership is now Open for Registration.

Membership

As a Member you will have access to lectures and seminars every day, offered on campus AND simultaneously streamed LIVE via Zoom. These sessions will include question and answer sessions with our distinguished faculty speakers, art historians, community leaders, and others. Individual class registration is not required. Members can attend all scheduled classes and events or pick and choose the courses that fit their individual schedules. All classes are included in your membership.
