Burleigh to discuss her latest book

CALLICOON, NY — Author and international journalist Nina Burleigh will lead a discussion on her latest book on Thursday, March 31 at 6:30 p.m. at La Shed Du Fred. Discussions of “The Stranger and the Statesman: John Smithson, John Quincy Adams and the Making of America’s Greatest Museum: The Smithsonian” will contribute to the Western Sullivan Public Library’s monthly series, “Art and Democracy III: The Subtle Art of Patronage.” The evening will explore how art gets commissioned and collected, who does the commissioning and collecting, and how that affects the art.
