The Agora Unveiling - Sunday, Oct. 25. Time: 3 to 5 p.m. By Michael Hinman Artist Event - Public Invited Artist Lecture: 3:30 In Greek, “agora” means “gathering place.” Though many ancient Greek cities had an agora, one stands out in time as the most significant. Housed in the city dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, the Agora of ancient Athens was where many of the most influential thinkers of the age began to shape the first democracy and the basis of western thinking. Ideas were discussed here that would remain relevant for more than two thousand years. During the Renaissance the beauty of classical antiquity blossomed. A flurry of artists, architects, statesmen, and writers, all-well versed in the study of ancient Greece, accomplished some of man’s greatest achievements. Fueled, too, by neoclassical inspiration from Europe, the Founding Fathers of the United States of America drew inspiration from the writers and architects of classical Greece. My Agora serves not only as a celebration of these glorious centuries in Athens, but also as a reminder that the study of history reveals valuable lessons for our civilization and the arts. The Athenians’ dedication to recording history, funding the arts, and developing education ensured that their ideas would continue flourishing over time. This painting celebrates great men who not only had the intelligence and ability to accomplish tremendous feats of engineering, science, art, and politics but also to document these accomplishments and educate future generations. The most significant lesson I have learned from my study of the ancient Greeks is if you invest in ideas and structures built to last for centuries and dedicate your greatest efforts to education, these ideas will develop further beyond your highest expectations at the hands of many others for centuries to come.
