The Rochester Section of the
American Chemical Society is pleased to present a series of lectures
highlighting the role of chemistry in the arts. These lectures feature experts
who will explore this role of chemistry, from the dawn of civilization using
completely empirical approaches to current times in which the most sophisticated
methods of material science and analytical chemistry are applied to arts-related
areas.
These lectures are free and open to the public. Each lecture will be followed by
an informal reception.
A PDF Flier of the complete
lecture series is available for downloading
