SUMMARY:Manet and the Birth of Modern Art
DESCRIPTION:FREE for members; $10 for non-members \nWhen did Modern Art begin? Perhaps it was in 1865 when Edouard Manet exhibited his painting of a reclining female nude\, Olympia\, in the Paris Salon of that year. Although accepted by the selective exhibition jury\, the work caused a scandal. The painting was a purposeful and deliberate critique of the art that came before it. In this lecture\, art historian Morgan Ridler dives into Manet’s important contribution to the development of Modernism and the context of Paris during the Second Empire. \nAbout the presenter: Morgan Ridler is an art historian based in Sleepy Hollow\, New York. Her book project Collaborative Surfaces: Bauhaus Wall Painting\, Wallpaper\, and Colored Architecture is being prepared for publication. Dr. Ridler completed her PhD in Art History at The Graduate Center\, CUNY in 2016 and has taught extensively including at The Cooper Union\, Westchester Community College\, Montclair State University and Hunter College. Recently she has taught courses at Kendal-on-Hudson and is a tour guide and trustee for The Historical Society\, serving Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown.

SUMMARY:92NY Live—Bourbon Barons: Noah Rothbaum and Rabbi David Ingber in Conversation on Jews on the Bourbon Trail
DESCRIPTION:FREE for members & non-members \nGrab a bourbon cocktail (included!) and join acclaimed spirits expert and author Noah Rothbaum alongside Rabbi David Ingber to uncover the Jewish legacy within America’s whiskey story. \nIn his latest book\, The Whiskey Bible\, Rothbaum traces the global history of whiskey while shining light on a little-known chapter: the pivotal role of Jewish immigrants in bringing whiskey to America. From bootleggers and distillers to visionaries who built enduring brands\, Jewish entrepreneurs have woven resilience\, ingenuity\, and identity into the very fabric of this iconic spirit. \nTogether with the Shapira family—leaders of one of America’s most storied\, family-run distilleries—this conversation will explore the intertwined narratives of tradition\, adaptation\, and entrepreneurship that continue to shape both whiskey and Jewish-American identity.
