PHC Free Humanities Presentations

The Pennsylvania Humanities Council is inviting libraries to host a free humanities program featuring an expert in the humanities through the 2008-9 Commonwealth Speakers program. For more than twenty years, the Commonwealth Speakers program has contracted artists, educators, and scholars from around the state to provide quality presentations on a variety of topics including mucic, folk and traditional arts, and American history. Many presentations encourage audience participation or target family audiences and cater to popular interest.

To apply, simply fill out an application and forward it to the PHC. Applications must be received at least 8 weeks before the proposed event date. To schedule spring events in April and May, submit an application by mid-March. The application materials and the Commonwealth Speakers catalog can be accessed on-line at:www.pahumanities.org.

If you would like a hard copy of the catalog or have any questions, please contact Georgia Guthrie at (800)462-0442, or (215)925-1005 x119. She can be reached also at: commonwealthspeakers@pahumanities.org.
