SYMPOSIUM PANELISTS 

[Left column]
"Without the creative arts there would have been no advance in myth or ritual, in language or meaning, in morality or metaphysics" (Herbert Read).

Living in a society which puts a premium on knowledge verbally conceived and exchanged and given the nonverbal nature of a work of art, the task for those responsible with museum education is not an easy one.

Museums are intended to be experienced by visitors and, through their exhibits, to bring about a self-conscious awareness of art as both contemporary and historical products. It is conceivable that many of those who enter a museum do so out of curiosity rather than in pursuit of aesthetic experience. But once inside, the visitor may become visually involved with the exhibits. The institution's supplementary programs also may direct attention to the artistic importance of the exhibits. Such supplementary programs usually take the form of lectures, gallery talks, panel discussions, or symposia. This symposium will endeavor to introduce the visitor to the rudiments of historic perspective and a sense of what one might expect in an exhibit of art such as the "Mira" exhibition.
