As WAM Director Patricia McDonnell took the reins at WAM 10 years ago, she launched Art Chatter. This program is beloved with a packed-house following. Viewers learn about amazing talents in our city and often laugh their hearts out. Patricia will transition into retirement in Spring 2022. Select creatives were (almost) overlooked by Patricia. OMG! She’s seen the error of her ways, and tragedy has been averted! Patricia’s grand finale Art Chatter lineup includes poet Albert Goldbarth, designer Sonia Greteman, choreographer Nick Johnson, photographer Larry Schwarm, and a mystery guest. Brava! Bravissimo! Kudos to Patricia for creating event brilliance with Art Chatter, a WAM fan favorite for the past decade. Alas, the time has come for Patricia to pass the chitchat program baton. Have no fear, Art Chatter is returning next year—under new management.

Capacity limited to 200, and RSVPs and advance tickets are required. Free to WAM members with reservation. RSVP or purchase $15 general admission tickets below.
