Katherine Ware (School of Art) has announced the second “Creative Conversations” session will be 8 – 9:15 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13 at the Kelly Center, Cox C. These gatherings, sponsored by The New York Times, bring together members of the local arts community, faculty, staff and students interested in discussing trends and topics.

Does the distinctive glow of a smartphone annoy you when you see it in a theater? At the end of a concert, do you stand when you applaud the performers? Why? These and other sticky questions that come from your insights, observations and ideas, supplemented by news articles, will get the conversation going.
