Chesapeake Forum is welcoming the 1st half of the month of February with a rich mix of programs designed to inspire curiosity, spark conversation, and encourage hands‑on learning. Rounding out the month’s early offerings is an accessible art history mini‑course with Anke Van Wagenberg that invites participants to revisit iconic works and build confidence engaging with visual art.
Other early‑month offerings invite participants to explore the world from multiple angles — from the sweeping landscapes of the African bush to the complexities of global affairs, the creativity of art and food, and the personal stories hidden within family history.
February also brings opportunities to roll up your sleeves with a hands‑on fermentation workshop with Oksana Bocharova, try your hand at acrylic paint pouring, or deepen personal well‑being through a simple daily meditation practice. For those drawn to high‑adrenaline experiences, a Marine Corps fighter pilot offers a rare behind‑the‑scenes look at piloting the F/A‑18 Hornet.
Chesapeake Forum’s classes are offered in a mix of in‑person, hybrid, and online formats, making it easy for adults of all ages to participate. Registration is open now, and courses often fill quickly.
