Escape to Chile
Dr. Wayne Lawson, Museum trustee and director emeritus of the Ohio Arts Council, and Nannette V. Maciejunes, CMA executive director, will lead an Art Escapes trip to Santiago, Chile, March 11-19.

Our trip includes visits to the Contemporary Art Museum; the Museo de las Solidaridad; private art galleries such as Tomas Andreu, Isabel Aninat, and ArtESpacio; and the Pre Columbian Museum. Visits to the homes of private collectors and lectures by art critics will round out this incredible trip. Side excursions to the vineyards just outside of Santiago or a visit to Isla Negra, the home of Chile's poet laureate, are optional. The cost of the trip is $3,600, single supplement $750. Your deposit of $1,800 is your reservation. Final payment is due by January 10. Please call Nancy Turner at 614.629.0301 for details.
