CMCA’s 2025 Distinguished Lecture Series will feature Mary Louise Schumacher, director of The Dorothea and Leo Rabkin Foundation, and Jarrett Earnest, artist, writer, curator and 2021 Rabkin Foundation Prize winner. The Lecture, in the form of a dialogue, will take place at the Strand Theatre. A reception and book signing at CMCA will follow.

Jarrett wrote the interview of Nicole Wittenberg that appears in Phaidon Press’ recently published monograph of Nicole’s work.
