We are so grateful to everyone who joined us yesterday for a thoughtful discussion about the role of art during times of crisis.

Recently had a lot of fun discussing this painting with the La Salle University Honors Program students. They learned that the average museum visitor spends 30 seconds looking at a work of art. We spent about 20 minutes engaging with this "sacred conversation" using prompting questions!
