Art, Myth and Legend (Art Lecture)
Teaching Artist: Dr Stephen Spyrison 

Join teaching artist Dr. Steve Spyrison for an engaging art lecture exploring the powerful connections between art, myth, and legend. Through storytelling and visual examples, this session highlights inspiring figures—both real and mythological—whose stories have shaped artistic expression across time.

Discover how tales of heroic women and men from history, mythology, and folklore have influenced artists and continue to resonate in creative work today. This lecture offers a rich, thought-provoking experience for anyone interested in the deeper narratives behind art.

Empowering stories of humans behind the Art:
Princess Parizade bringing home the Singing Tree (from One Thousand and One Arabian Nights),
Ruth, Queen Zenobia (whose husband inspired the word “xenophobia”),
Judith, Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, Marie Marvingt, Royal Rife,
Tesla, and more.

All materials provided. No experience necessary.
