I think you should focus on what it is you're trying to accomplish with these lectures, and the name will come naturally. ************************************************************************** Mark Nielsen Exhibit Designer/Preparator University of Michigan Museum of Art [log in to unmask] 313/647-2068 On Wed, 11 Nov 1998, Fruit Bug wrote: > How about ArtBeat? > > Jenny LeoI > > > n a message dated 98-11-11 17:20:58 EST, you write: > > << Does any Museum-L members have suggestions for titling an ongoing > lecture > > >series with something that is dynamic beyond "Art Talks" ?
