Classes

Inspired by The Huntington's current exhibition, “Inspiring Walt Disney: The Animation of French Decorative Arts,” attendees will join library curators David Mihaly and Krystle Satrum as they host a show-and-tell of selected objects from the Jay T. Last Collection. You'll have hands-on access to over 50 full-size reproduction prints of fashion plates, lithographs, and selected art books from The Huntington's collections. Next, you'll visit the exhibition with Wright as he encourages attendees to explore, engage, and find new inspiration—similar to Walt Disney and his animators finding inspiration in French decorative arts.

This program is geared towards adult learners or students of art, architecture, design, or fashion. Full-time students with a current college ID can convert their $21 event ticket to a College Card after the program, good for free admission to The Huntington for one year (regularly $36).
