Have you ever been intrigued by art crimes? Marti, from our WSAS group, says “When I saw this notice of an interesting art class in the COD Lifelong Learning brochure this week, I wanted to mention it to WSAS members. Ruth Nelson is an outstanding lecturer. My husband and I have enjoyed her recent online classes about the great cathedrals of Europe and art of the Vatican.

Information about the class is listed in the Spring 2022 COD Life Long Learning course catalog and below.
