“[T]he movie disarms you with its charm and its solid craftsmanship … However familiar, the taste is still sweet, the texture light as a souffle, the sentiments pleasantly high caloric.” —David Ansen, Newsweek
When mysterious Vianne (Juliette Binoche) and her child arrive in a tranquil French town in the winter of 1959, no one could have imagined the impact that she and her spirited daughter would have on a community stubbornly rooted in tradition. Within days, she opens an unusual chocolate shop across the square from the church. Her ability to perceive her customers’ desires and satisfy them with just the right confection coaxes the villagers to abandon themselves to temptation—just as Lent begins.

A member of the Country Music Hall of Fame and an inductee to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Alan Jackson’s membership among music’s all-time greats is part of a long line of career-defining accolades that include three CMA Entertainer of the Year honors, over 30 years of membership in the Grand Ole Opry, a Billboard ranking as one of the Top 10 Country Artists of All-Time, induction to the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Heritage Award as the most-performed country songwriter-artist of ASCAP’s first 100 years.
The man from rural Newnan, GA has sold nearly 60-million albums worldwide, ranks as one of the 10 best-selling male vocalists of all-time (rock, pop and country). He has released more than 60 singles – registering 50 Top Ten hits and 35 #1s (including 26 Billboard chart-toppers).

“Sing Sing manages to tell its own story efficiently but it knows the value of the rhythmic change-up. In the key role Colman Domingo’s restraint here never for a second feels like passivity.” —Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

This stirring true story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art stars an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors.

Lecture | Luster and Sheen: Worldly Taste in the Dutch Republic
2025-02-09 14:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago) | Kimbell Art Museum, Kimbell Art Museum, Camp Bowie Boulevard, Fort Worth, TX, USA, Fort Worth, TX, United States
Claudia Swan, The Inaugural Mark Steinberg Weil Professor of Art History, Washington University, St. Louis
In 1620, in the Dutch city of The Hague, an artisan received a patent for a technique that enabled him to polish whalebone in a manner that achieved spectacular “luyster en glans” (luster and sheen), comparable to the highly favored and more expensive foreign hardwood, ebony. Frames, cabinets, and furnishings crafted of ebony (and lookalike materials) were especially favored luxury goods in the seventeenth century. These included Asian lacquer objects and European objects made in imitation of the foreign technique. Like lacquerware, shimmering shells, opalescent conchs, and the mother-of-pearl with which it was often inlaid, ebony is representative of Dutch taste for the sheen and gleam of highly worked foreign materials. This lecture aims to show that highly lustrous items—shells, lacquerware, porcelain, polished woods and stones, and, of course, oil paintings—were especially prized, and that the taste for luster and sheen was closely intertwined with global trade.
Lectures by distinguished guest speakers address a range of topics relating to the appreciation and interpretation of art. They are free and open to the public. Seating is limited.
