Academy Evenings are held in the Overture Center for the Arts in Madison and across the state at various public venues.
|
Academy Evenings bring the public together with our state's leading experts, researchers, scholars, and artists to share cutting-edge knowledge in a wide range of fields, highlight our achievements, and address our common problems. These free, public forums are intended to encourage interaction with these leaders in an intimate atmosphere designed to build community. Academy Evenings enlighten and engage the public on important issues of our times, offering everyone a chance to learn from and interact with our state's most noted thinkers. Each presentation includes a question and answer session and offers audience participation through interaction with the presenters.
Academy Evenings take place regularly in the Overture Center for the Arts in Madison and travel to other venues throughout Wisconsin. Academy Evenings presentations are free of charge and open to the public, although donations are very much welcome.
Our current Academy Evenings season schedule, which includes the "Wisconsin 2050: Pioneering the Future" series in Madison and other presentations around the state, as well as past season schedules, can be accessed by using the links to the left.
