History Cafe: Miss Aunt Nellie - Celebrating Cornish's Centennial

The Cornish College of the Arts celebrates its centennial in 2014. Nellie Cornish founded her school on a philosophy of educating the artist through exposure to all the arts—a progressive idea at the time, and one that continues to be innovative today.

Bridget Nowlin, Visual Arts Librarian at Cornish and Mark Bocek, Media Specialist at Cornish will focus on the woman behind this school and her century-long impact on Seattle.

About History Cafe
Join us on the 3rd Thursday of the month at the MOHAI Cafe at the Museum of History & Industry's new location in Lake Union Park for lively a discussion about history. Each cafe features a different topic, and invites history enthusiasts to come together and share what you know. Grab a cup of coffee - or glass of wine - and enjoy learning about the past!

Please note: History Cafe is a free program, but if you wish to visit the MOHAI galleries, you must pay museum admission (galleries close at 8 pm).

This event series is brought to you by MOHAI, The Seattle Public Library, and HistoryLink.org.

RSVPs: Seating at History Cafe is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Your RSVP gives us an idea of how many people are coming, but does not guarantee you a seat, so we encourage you to arrive at least 15 minutes early. If an event is full on Meetup, you may still come.
Parking: After 6 pm, numerous lots near Lake Union Park offer free parking. Look for parking lots off Fairview Ave, Westlake Ave, or Valley Street, or take the South Lake Union Streetcar from downtown Seattle.
