AMERICAN CULTURE IN THE 1930s
The 1930s began with the Great Depression and ended with the onset of World War II. The uncertainty and suspense of these years altered American culture in profound ways. This 4-part, illustrated lecture series will examine American artistic responses and reactions to this tumultuous of decade.

Arthousetours 
can you tell me how long each lecture is??
The lectures are generally about one to one and one-half hours (1 – 1.5 hours).
My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed your lecture today! We love the way you use humor to make you point and make us think. Looking forward to next week’s lecture and classes in your home soon. We are lucky to have you in Detroit! Sincerely, Dru
Looking forward to the Asters Talk in March. Always fun with Michael and his knowledge. He makes it soooo fun.
Does Professor Farrell ever tape his lectures?
Unfortunately, and in spite of being asked on more than one occassion, Professor Farrell does not record his lectures and has no plans to.
Thank you all the same. I appreciate your reply.
I thought Prof. Farrell said, at the BCH this year, that this series is going to be repeated in Jan, 2013. Is that true?

Professor Farrell has decided to begin the World War I series in the autumn at the Community House, so that he can do all three WWI lecture series’ in Autumn 2013 (Great Britain), Winter 2014 (France) and Spring 2014 (Germany), in order for there to be shorter gaps between the various parts of the trilogy.
He will be back at the Community House this Spring with a series on Great American Collectors.
I want a ticket to the Thursday, 19 March 2015, 1 pm – Frida Kahlo lecture but cannot get your website to work so I can pay the money. Is there another way to RSVP and pay for my tickets.
Thank you for your help!
