ARTIST TALK STRUCTURE

Guests will be muted for the entire presentation. If you have a question in the middle of the lecture, you may ask in the chat. Questions are moderated and asked selectively as to not slow down the presentation. If your question has not been answered, there will be time at the end to ask questions. You may use the “raise hand” feature and a monitor will unmute you briefly to ask your question.

DEVICE SHARING

Sharing devices to watch the Artist Talk is allowed, however we will be asking all device sharers to identify themselves.
