8pm to 9pm Art Chats The Arts in Latin America 1492 - 1820

One-hour conversation-based tours of special exhibitions led by LACMA's college and graduate-student gallery teachers. Art Chats will focus on the special exhibition The Arts in Latin America, 1492-1820. Meet at the entrance to the exhibition in the Art of the Americas Building.

After 9pm If anyone wants to continue the evening at a nearby café/pub/restaurant, I'm open to suggestions.

I think this would be a great way to get acquainted for our...er MY.... first meeting. I'll be there 6pm and will hang around meeting you as you arrive until the Art Chats begin at 8pm.
