This summer, I have been excited to learn a little bit about the formation of the Seattle Asian Art Museum's new, Center for Asian Art and Ideas. Spearheaded by recently-retired director of SAM, Mimi Gates, the CAAI, will offer program-based opportunities for dialogue on a broad range of topics related to Asian art and culture.
To that end, CAAI has announced their first lecture series, "Saturday University: Asia in Focus." Here is the run down. A one-hour Asian exercise class (yoga, tai chi, etc.) at 8:30 am is part of your ticket (but not required), then lectures start at 9:30 until 11 am. Tickets by phone: 206-654-3121 or by email at boxoffice @seattleartmuseum org. Hope to see many of you there!
