The American Imagination: Three Talks on Art and American Identity (Online)

This three-session class celebrates the arts as a living force in American life — the novels that define us, the paintings that capture our aspirations, the music that gives voice to our struggles and triumphs. Across three immersive lectures, we’ll explore how artists have envisioned America: not as a fixed idea, but as an evolving creative project.
