The Sistine Chapel in Denver

I’m so excited to invite you to the Sistine Chapel this summer — in Denver! Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel Exhibition, an exhibit of larger-than-life photographs of Michelangelo’s frescoes, is currently on view at The Stanley Marketplace. And they have invited me to give a series of talks about Michelangelo in the exhibit space.

I am giving two talks — one geared toward children and families and the other for an older audience. And both talks will happen twice!

At both events I will share the story of how Michelangelo came to paint a ceiling when he didn’t consider himself a painter at all. I’ll show you the stories and the evolution of his storytelling as he painted his way across the ceiling. And we will have a chance to examine the photographs in rich detail.

So if you happen to be in the Denver area, I hope you’ll join me as we explore the beauty of Michelangelo’s masterpiece up closer than we could ever be in Rome!

Details on each presentation are below. Tickets can be purchased at The Stanley Marketplace.

See you there!
