The speakers offer unique perspectives on antiques and home decor. Michael Bennett, curator of Greek and Roman Art at the Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA), will tell stories of the priceless antique objects in the museum’s exhibits. Louis Adrean, Senior Librarian for Research and Public Programs at the CMA, will explain the many resources available for researching the decorative arts and antiques. Floral designer Senor Frank Perez has travelled from Mexico to demonstrate the art and style of floral arrangements. Archivist Tom Vince of WRA will lead guided walking tours of the Academy’s “Brick Row,” the Chapel, the nation’s second-oldest observatory (Loomis Observatory), and other areas not usually open to the public. And “happiness expert” and author Jack Ricchiuto will offer timeless secrets to living joyfully.
