A Conversation with Great Artists, Talents and Thinkers: A Lecture Series

"Today we find ourselves hungry for intimate, intellectually sustaining contact with artists, talents and thinkers of our times who open up their minds to us in order to discuss their work and ideas, or their art. It is our hope here at University of Toronto Continuing Studies that, in gathering for a series of conversations with artists, talents and thinkers, you'll be chatting about this memorable meeting of minds long after it is over."
