Lillian Cartwright, Ph.D., will explore the role which environment (physical, social, psychological, etc.) can play in nurturing creativity. This illustrated presentation will draw on the experience of the renowned photographer, Alfred Stieglitz, and his phenomenally successful Gallery “291” in New York at the turn of the 20th century.
