PUBLIC Education

We’re joining forces with PUBLIC Craft Brewing for a series of fun, interesting talks about a variety of topics from dinosaurs to art to some guy who collected amputated limbs during the Civil War. Join museum curators in an informal setting (a brewery!) to discuss all sorts of topics while sampling some of Kenosha’s finest craft beers. The first one is on us!

Do you have to be a jerk to be a good artist? Why does the primarily male ‘tortured genius’ artist trope continue to persist in our collective memory? Grab a beer and decide for yourself if drugs, sex, and gambling improved the artwork of Vincent van Gogh, Thomas Kincaid, Paul Gaughin, Lucien Freud and Salvador Dali. Warning, you may not be able to look at them in the same way again!
