New Canaan Library announces that Elisabeth Sussman, curator and Sondra Gilman curator of photography at the Whitney Museum of American Art, will be guest lecturer for the library’s 6th annual Stoddard Art Lecture. This year’s lecture will be held on Thursday, Oct. 13 at 6:30 p.m. in the Lamb Room, preceded by a light reception at 6 p.m. Register for the lecture online at newcanaanlibrary.org.
Sussman will discuss the Whitney’s dramatic new building and their inaugural exhibition. Designed by architect Renzo Piano and situated between the High Line and the Hudson River, the Whitney’s building in the Meatpacking District vastly increases the museum’s exhibition and programming space, offering the most expansive display ever of its unsurpassed collection of modern and contemporary American art.
The Stoddard Art Lecture series was established in the fall of 2011 to enrich and broaden the community’s understanding and enjoyment of the visual arts in all its forms. The Stoddard Lecture is unique in that it is endowed; once the fund reaches a certain point from contributions the series will operate in perpetuity. It is indeed a lasting gift, honoring lifelong learners, benefiting others and improving the library.
