Upcoming lectures at the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture


Leno Prestini

The Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture in Browne's Addition will have two upcoming lectures. Leno Prestini's World by Presenter Jack Nisbit is Wednesday, April 13 at 6:30pm. From the late 1920s through the early 1960s, terra-cotta modeler and visionary artist Leno Prestini seemed to channel the entire Inland Northwest into his personal creations. This lecture and slide presentation, by teacher and naturalist Jack Nisbit, examines Prestini's delightfully eccentric and occasionally dark approach to an important local industry, his personal expression, and life in general.

On Saturday, April 16 at 2pm, Salvaging Sunken Spanish Treasure! by Presenter Margaret Weller. Long-time treasure hunter, Margaret Weller, has been salvaging Spanish galleons off the cost of Florida since the 1970s. She worked for many years alongside her husband, the legendary treasure seeker, Bob 'Frogfoot' Weller (now deceased). Margaret will share her amazing experiences of being a treasure hunter, and will show some of the artifacts she recovered. An informal walk-through of the Treasure! exhibit follows the talk, to see some of the Wellers' treasures. The informal tour will also be a chance to ask Margaret questions, and hear more of her interesting and entertaining stories from her very adventurous life.

Each lecture will be held in the Eric A. Johnston Auditorium, $10 suggested donation. No reservation needed, first-come, first-served, limited to 180.
