December now also includes Film Discussion: Martha (2024) (Course 12959) next Wednesday afternoon, December 11, 2024, with Kate Hearst. Watch this Netflix documentary about the enduring American icon Martha Stewart in advance and then come to class to discuss the complex portrait about the first female self-made billionaire. Session will be recorded for registered students to view within a week of class.


That same day, hone your hosting skills in Holiday Cooking with Renee Cohen (12918), where you will not only enjoy preparing and eating a fabulous meal but come away with a complete holiday menu to replicate for your own guests.


On Thursday, December 12, 2024, Cohen returns to Chinatown by popular demand. Culinary Walking Tour: Chinatown (12912) explores Chinatown's history and secret wonders in this amazing neighborhood while you taste your way from one culinary delight to another.


Page Knox has also just added two more walking tours at the Met. The first, European Wing at the Met (Course 12993) meets Monday morning, December 16, 2024, and includes works from the thirteenth through the early twentieth century. This visit will not repeat any material covered during the September 2024 tour.


The next morning on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, Knox returns to explore Mexican Prints at the Vanguard at the Met (Course 12994). The exhibit highlights Mexico’s rich tradition of printmaking from the eighteenth century to the mid-twentieth century and is closing in a few short weeks. Don't miss this opportunity for a guided visit.
