Behind the hallowed walls of our city’s world-class institutions and inside the board rooms of its most dynamic businesses, interesting stories are unfolding every day.
In its 4th year, the Rydal Park Lively Fall Speaker Series is proud to open a window into those landmark organizations—to share some of the history and reveal some of the mystery that makes our city’s icons so iconic.
On Tuesday, October 18th, Rydal Park will welcome Ross Mitchell, Director of Barnes-de Mazia Education and Outreach Programs at The Barnes Foundation.
About Ross: An artist by training, Ross Mitchell studied under the legendary Violette de Mazia as a student at the Barnes Foundation before serving as Gallery Director. He went on to become Executive Director of her foundation, then branched out to take a position as an art consultant in New York and to serve as an Executive Director of Historic Laurel Hill Cemetery. He has returned to The Barnes Foundation as director of Education and Outreach, a position he describes as “teaching people to see.”
All talks are free and open to the public on a limited, reserved-seating basis by calling 215-376-6292.
