While Europe is filled with its fair share of incredible art museums, a couple stand out for containing some of the greatest masterpieces in all of Western art. What makes these works of art so important, and why are they 'must sees' when visiting the collection? From Ancient Greeks to contemporary times — and well-known works to little-known gems — it's time to dive into six of Europe's most renowned Western art museums and discover some of their most outstanding works of art.

Join New York Adventure Club for a six-part series that explores Europe’s six greatest museums and six of their greatest pieces of Western art that are considered some of humanity's most important. In Part Four, we'll focus on the Uffizi in Florence. This museum not only houses some of the most important works of art that propelled a new art historical period after the Middle Ages, but also — to this day — is the most important repository of artist’s self portraits.

Led by art historian, museum educator, and NYC lecturer Mariska Beekenkamp-Wladimiroff, this art-centric virtual journey through Europe's greatest Western art masterpieces will feature:

• An introductory history of the Uffizi Gallery building and collection
• A close look at six seminal works: Adoration of the Magi by Andrea Mantegna (1462) | The Duke and Duchess of Urbino by Piero Della Francesca (1472) | The Birth of Venus by Alessandro Botticelli (1480) | The Madonna with the Long Neck by Parmigianino (1540) | Venus of Urbino by Titian (1538) | Self Portrait by Rosalba Carriera (1715)
• Behind-the-scenes information on each of these works of art, including the makers of these works of art, the art historical period, the original context and place of display, the story being told, the importance in the development of the arts and for future artists, and some fun facts

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Mariska — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!

https://www.nyadventureclub.com/event/vivian-maier-the-greatest-photographer-of-the-20th-century-webinar-registration-879549685787/

The life, career, and truly unbelievable story of American photographer Vivian Maier (1926-2009) gives truth to the adage that “truth is stranger than fiction.” After all, how else could one describe how a woman with no formal artistic training took over 100,000 photographs in her lifetime, hardly develop or print any of them, and die unknown and unmourned? And then in the quirkiest of fates, have her works accidentally discovered posthumously, which would go on to receive global acclaim and fame? This is the incredible personal and professional story of Vivian Maier, arguably the greatest photographer of the 20th century.

Join New York Adventure Club as we explore the mysterious life and career of Vivian Maier, a nanny in the Chicago area during the mid-20th century who took over 100,000 personal photos of predominantly urban life in Chicago and New York — a collection that would have stayed unknown forever without the chance discovery of her photographs' negatives in the 2010s.

Led by pop culture historian Arlen Schumer — author/designer of “The Silver Age of Comic Book Art” — this digital showcase of Vivian Maier will include:

-A carefully curated overview of Maier’s immense body of work — in black and white, color, film, and scrapbooks

• The trajectory of Maier’s crazy-quilt life journey , from Europe to New York City to Chicago, and eventually around the world and back again
  -The story of how her bountiful body of work was discovered and disseminated , along with her semi-surreal story of her life — thanks to the young photographer John Maloof in the early 2010s
  -How her esteemed body of photographic works measures up to some of the greatest photographers of the 20th Century , like Robert Frank (“The Americans”), WeeGee (a.k.a. Arthur Fellig), Diane Arbus, and Cindy Sherman

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Arlen — any and all questions about Vivian Maier are welcomed and encouraged!

https://www.nyadventureclub.com/event/the-bowery-rise-fall-resurgence-of-nycs-oldest-street-webinar-registration-875329282447/

While every street in NYC has a story, the oldest of them all doesn't disappoint. For over four centuries, the Manhattan corridor of the Bowery has taken on many personas, ranging from a Native American trail, to a hub of middle-class entertainment; a shadowland of hard-knuckle saloons to a musical and cultural hotspot. This is the story of one of New York City's most storied neighborhoods, from the good, the bad, and downright spooky.

Join New York Adventure Club as we explore the history of the Bowery, a 400-year-old thoroughfare through Manhattan that shares a colorful history with New York City — though a history that people of yesteryears preferred to forget.

Led by historian Stephen Paul DeVillo, our digital showcase of the once-notorious Bowery and its curious history will include:

• A historical overview of the Bowery and how it evolved from a rural pathway to the “Boulevard of the Forgotten”
• A deep dive into the Bowery’s often raucous and scandalous history, from infamous saloons to dime museums, and street gangs to places of ill repute
• A look at New York’s early theater scene, and colorful characters such as “Peg Leg” Peter Stuyvesant, Harry Houdini, and others
• Historic photos and paintings illustrating the Bowery’s variegated scene over the centuries, including things that remain, and those long gone
• A discussion around today's Bowery — while it has slowly reclaimed its old heritage as a scene of music and culture, this renaissance is threatened by encroaching hyper-gentrification
• Ghost stories from the infamous stretch

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Stephen — any and all questions about the Bowery are welcomed and encouraged!

Her menu at Piggyback by Pig & Khao is reflective of the traditional recipes, ingredients, and cooking techniques she learned firsthand working in kitchens throughout Asia, as she rediscovered—and brought home to NYC—the deliciously sweet, pungent, and spicy flavors of her youth.
Inspired by the Southeast Asian eating and drinking cultures one might find when visiting izakayas of Japan, hawkers markets of Singapore, and the night markets of Thailand, Piggyback is designed for sharing and snacking.

https://www.nyadventureclub.com/event/the-witches-of-broome-street-history-of-19th-c-fortune-tellers-webinar-registration-875282943847/

When an enclave of fortune tellers sprung up on Broome Street in Manhattan in 1857, journalist and bohemian humor writer Mortimer Thomson — aka Q.K. Philander Doesticks, P.B. — went on a mission to expose these purportedly corrupt women (or "witches"), who he surmised were just one step away from prostitution. While he went on to write about them first in a series of articles for the New-York Tribune and then in an 1858 book publication titled The Witches of New York, what was the reality of the lives of the women that he was vilifying? It's time to unearth this little-known dramatic period in New York history like never before.

Join New York Adventure Club as we take a dive deep into the 19th century persecution of New York City fortune tellers by Doesticks, the media, and a riled-up public.

Led by author Marie Carter — tour guide with Boroughs of the Dead and author of the book Mortimer and the Witches: A History of Nineteenth Century Fortune Tellers , our whirlwind experience will include:

• An overview of 1800s New York and fortune telling methods practiced at that time
• The hardships endured by women to make a living during that era
• An overview of Doesticks' associates including his mother-in-law, Fanny Fern — the highest paid columnist of her time — his daughter Ethel Parton, and even the Prince of Wales
• The surprising ways some of the fortune tellers appeared in major news stories in the nineteenth century, including significant court cases and murder trials
• How Doesticks' life would come to a sad and early end that would in some ways mirror the fortune tellers he wrote about

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Marie — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!

From the earliest days of European settlement, the majestic Hudson River Valley in New York State has been a seat of American political, financial, social, and artistic development.

It's time to uncover this magical region and see how buildings and structures built over the past 400 years have interacted with the awe-inspiring landscapes.

At the dawn of a new era, a vibrant art rebellion swept across Europe, challenging the rigid norms of the past with a style that was as fleeting as it was fervent. What inspired these artists to weave the sinuous whiplash lines of this new 'natural world' style called Art Nouveau into their creations? It's time to dive into this distinctive period where every aspect of design — from towering structures to the finest decorative details — united to form a harmonious, organic sanctuary.

Join New York Adventure Club for an in-depth, six-part series that explores Art Nouveau architecture, decorative arts, fine arts, and graphic arts throughout Europe; while the style shared many similarities across the continent, each region had its own specific styles and leading artists. In Part Six: Vienna, we'll explore how the Vienna Secession — a distinct variation of Art Nouveau — led to the city becoming a pioneering arts hub that influenced other global art movements like Art Deco in the U.S.

Led by Sylvia Laudien-Meo — art historian, museum educator, and NYC tour guide — this art-centric virtual journey will feature:

• Vienna Secession Buildings by architects Joseph Maria Olbrich, Otto Wagner, and Josef Hoffmann
• The outsized impact of artist Gustav Klimt in Vienna's art scene, who created several sets of most innovative and provocative murals
• A close look at the Stoclet House — while based in Belgium, this Art Nouveau masterpiece of 'total art' was designed by Josef Hoffman and contains murals by Klimt
• How the Vienna Workshops produced a huge variety of pioneering decorative arts, such as jewelry, fashion, glass, metal works, ceramic, and more
• The surprising connection of the Vienna Secession with the Art Deco movement in the U.S.
