The Viking Library System (VLS)
in partnership with the Kaddatz Galleries offered “art history for real people” through their Bluestocking Salon series. The guest speaker for 15 programs was Lorene McIntosh, a Minnesota artist and art educator who works from her CanvasDancer Studio in Fergus Falls.
From January to May, the five public libraries in Alexandria, Fergus Falls, Morris, Perham, and Wheaton, each hosted three seminars covering the most influential periods in art history: Greek and Roman, Renaissance, and Impressionist. The project name, Bluestocking Salon, combines the historic concepts of Victorian era literary study and the gathering of people for intellectual conversation.
