Conversations in Art

Learn about Impressionism, an artistic movement of the late 19th century.

Impressionism, labeled after one of Claude Monet’s paintings, was an oft-ridiculed style that focused on light and movement and ultimately had a great impact on the world of art. Come experience this unique aspect of art history and enjoy a glass of wine from the place where it all started (wine at additional cost).
