Sustenance Presents MASTERY, Lunchtime Arts Conversation, 8/23

By:

Sustenance presents: Mastery on Tuesday, August 23 at the Board Room (1000 Lenora Street, 7th floor) from  12 - 1 PM.

With guests:
Dawn Cerny (Art '01)
Matthew Offenbacher (moderator)
Jeffry Mitchell
Kimberly Trowbridge

What is mastery? Is it control over a particular field of knowledge? A voluntary offering of your self to a thing you love more than you love yourself? Have you ever tried to master something? What happened? Have you given yourself to a master? Is mastering yourself different than mastering something else? What's the opposite of mastery? Do you want disciples? Do you ever want to lose control? Can you teach that?

Please join us for a casual lunchtime conversation with special guests, Dawn Cerny (Art ‘01), Matthew Offenbacher, Jeffry Mitchell, and Kimberly Trowbridge, as we discuss what it takes to be "masterful" in the Arts and beyond.
