Upcoming Lectures
David Grant
"Captain James Cook: The Extraordinary First Voyage of the Endeavour"
Thursday, March 25th
Doors open at 6:30 pm, lecture begins at 7:00 pm
Captain James Cook, son of a Yorkshire farmer, was the most famous navigator of his time - both discovering and charting accurately coastlines from the Artic to the Antarctic, and the east coast of Australia to the west coast of North America. Cook made three voyages, each distinct in character, each a test and a triumph but not without tragedy. Join us as Mr. Grant brings to life the first of Cook’s journeys aboard the HMS Endeavour. Mr. Grant is the former president of Orange Coast College and served as president of the Orange Coast College Foundation. He is an historian and storyteller who enjoys long-distance sailing and mountain climbing, and has served as the coach of the Orange Coast College rowing team for most of his adult life.
Dean Weldon, President and CEO of Academy Studios
“The Making of an Exhibit”
Thursday, April 29th
Doors open at 6:30 pm, lecture begins at 7:00 pm
With over 30 years as a museum professional, Dean’s vision is to provide distinctive, high quality, exhibition design and fabrication services. Collaborating with artists, designers, curators, educators, architects and other professionals in the field, his ability to lead and participate in diverse teams has lead to the development of an impressive body of work that embodies the paradigm shifts in the field regarding the way institutions think about and approach their visitor experiences. His client list includes: Monterey Bay Aquarium, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, the California Academy of Sciences and now the Newport Harbor Nautical Museum for our upcoming ocean exploration exhibit: Sea of Adventure. Join us for a sneak peak of what’s coming your way this summer!
