Zoomiversary Game Night
Thursday, March 25
Bingo at 6:00PM ET 
Trivia at 7:30PM ET
Remember when everyone was posting those "Quarantine Day 15" pics... Is it just us or has it felt like March 2020 never ended? A year of Zoom, a year of slowly becoming a full time couch potato—what a rollercoaster. Let's review and make some money doing it. Join Crimson After Dark  as we recall the craziness of the last 365 days of quarantine happenings (dalgona coffee, you tried it), TikTok trends (was the Don't Rush challenge really a year ago?), pop culture phenomenon (Carol Baskin definitely killed her husband) and more. Test your luck with quarantine Bingo or test your 2020 knowledge in Trivia—or both! Either way, the four winners from each game are walking away (Zoom-ing away?) with some $$$! Register now!
On the anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery March, Professor David A. Moss, author of the acclaimed book “Democracy: A Case Study,” makes history come alive with an audience-driven discussion of Martin Luther King Jr. and the movement for voting rights. Professor Moss will bring his wildly popular Harvard course on American democracy to a new stage in this public forum hosted by the Office for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging and the American Repertory Theater. Bring your ideas, and leave your preconceptions at the door. It will be an afternoon that challenges the way you think about America’s civic life – and your place in it. There will be a short, pre-event reading distributed to participants to prepare, and a lively, in-depth discussion during the program.
Enthusiasm for watercolor painting swept the United States in the years after the founding of the American Watercolor Society in New York in 1866. Early proponents in the Boston area, including many women artists, were inspired by Ruskin, the Aesthetic Movement, and the rise of Impressionism. In this lecture, curator Kathleen A. Foster from the Philadelphia Museum of Art will discuss this early period of watercolor painting in Boston.
Food in Art
Wednesday, March 31
4:00PM ET
Join us on Zoom for a bite-size look at the role of food in art, presented in partnership with the Food Literacy Project at Harvard University Dining Services.  From vegetable-based dyes to dairy fixatives, food and art share a long and interesting history. In this talk, curatorial and conservation fellows Ruby Awburn, Lauren Hanson, Leonie Mueller, and Julie Wertz will take us on a culinary tour of the Harvard Art Museums and discuss the varied roles that food has played in art.
As you engage virtually, please be as respectful of each other as you would be in person! Review this link for Netiquette tips.
