This event will bring together more than a dozen former winners of the museum's Charles C. Eldredge Prize, awarded annually to the author of the best book in the field of American art. Each speaker has chosen a word to muse upon — a word that is a critical term for the field, represents an especially compelling approach for the study of American art, or has galvanized his or her own scholarship. The program will begin at 2 p.m., with a keynote lecture by the 2008 Eldredge Prize winner JoAnne Mancini at 5 p.m. The event will take place in the museum's Nan Tucker McEvoy Auditorium, which is located near the 8th and G Street NW entrance. A wine reception will follow the final lecture. No registration is required. For more information, contact SAAMSymposium@si.edu or (202) 633-8353. The schedule is as follows:
