Deadline: 09/12/08
This event will bring together sixteen winners of the museum's Charles C. Eldredge Prize, awarded annually to the author of the best book in the field of American art. Each speaker has chosen a word to muse upon — a word that is a critical term for the field or has galvanized his or her own scholarship. Speakers include: Sarah Burns, Wanda M. Corn, Jodi Hauptman, Elizabeth Johns, Caroline A. Jones, Anthony W. Lee, Margaretta M. Lovell, David M. Lubin, Richard Meyer, Angela L. Miller, Edward J. Nygren, Sally M. Promey, Sue Rainey, Alan Trachtenberg, Rebecca Zurier, and the 2008 prize winner JoAnne M. Mancini.
The program will begin at 2 p.m. Then this year's winner, JoAnne Mancini, author of "Pre-Modernism" will present a lecture.
The event will take place in the museum's Nan Tucker McEvoy Auditorium, 8th and G Street NW. No reservations are required. For the complete program, including speakers and their words, see www.americanart.si.edu/eldredge
