In this Smart series, University of Chicago faculty and their invited guests host intimate, in-gallery conversations about an artwork on view in a current exhibition. These dialogues spark connections across disciplines, and conclude with an opportunity for attendees to join the discussion.

Science Communication and Public Discourse professor Jordan Bimm and Adler Planetarium Curator and Director of Collections Katie Boyce-Jacino discuss Thomas’s Snoopy Sees the Earth Wrapped in Sunset, on view in Composing Color: Paintings by Alma Thomas from the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Free; drop-in program. Hosted in the west gallery within the exhibition Composing Color.
