A weekend-long International Art Forum on “Art and Beauty” is to be held this week, November 1-3, at the headquarters of the World Youth Alliance in New York City. Discussion will evolve around the questions: “What is beauty? What is the role of beauty in art? Should art always be beautiful?”
The forum will feature lectures by the New Criterion ’s executive editor James Panero, Marcantonio Architects’ co-founder Dino Marcantonio, and Wayne Adams, a contemporary visual artist. An exhibition of artists’ pieces and a concert by the World Youth Alliance Chamber Orchestra will comprise the forum’s events. For a full schedule of events and to RSVP, visit their website here .
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
