CF’s innovative new educational series, “Patriot Project: Bringing History to Life,” will kick off on Wednesday, Aug. 31, 12:30-1:30 p.m. in the Webber Center. Tyrus Clutter, CF professor of art, will discuss significant painters of the period as well as the folk art movement, including crafts like needlepoint.

The Patriot Project will take a deep dive into the pop culture of the 17th and 18th centuries, expanding on the new state civics initiative to invite students, staff and the community to a monthly lecture series. Lectures are free and open to the public and light refreshments and event giveaways will be provided.

The Patriot Project was developed by Dr. Sarah Satterfield, CF professor of music, with funding provided through a CF Foundation New Initiative Grant.
