Museum on Main is launching a new lecture series in June entitled “A Discussion with …”
Throughout the year, the museum will invite artists, local historians and community members to share their stories and experiences about a broad range of topics. These “discussions” will be held at the museum and will offer attendees an intimate space to share with speakers.
The dates, times, registration requirements and ticket prices will vary based on the speaker.
Leading off the series in June are the following:
* “A Discussion with Artist Tom Killion”

$10 for members; $15 for non-members
World-renowned artist Killion will discuss his inspiration, work and his creative process, surrounded by his colorful wood block prints depicting California’s beautiful and wild coast line. At 5 p.m., after the presentation, there will be a reception open to the public. Killion’s book, “California’s Wild Edge,” will be available for purchase and signing.
* “A Discussion with Film Historian David Kiehn”
