Brandeis University Arts Expert to Present "Truth or Beauty" Lecture in Arizona

ARIZONA JEWISH POST 

ARIZONA---The Brandeis National Committee will host its annual University on Wheels event on Thursday, Feb. 7, at 9 a.m. at Skyline Country Club. Scott Edmiston, director of the Office of the Arts at Brandeis University, will speak on: “Truth or Beauty: The Need for Art in the 21st Century.” Edmiston will explore questions such as: Do the arts play a role in creating and sustaining truth, justice, a more ethical society? In these days of proliferating reality shows, video games and media saturation, is there still a place for live theatre? Museums and art galleries? Symphony halls? Edmiston founded the Office of the Arts at Brandeis after more than 25 years as an artist, educator, administrator and arts advocate at universities and nonprofit organizations. [link]
