Oct 13, 2026: Western Watershed Presents William T. Cross at Quigley Hall

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 19:00:00 -0600

The Western Watershed General Education program is excited to host art historian and museum curator William T. Cross will to deliver the inaugural lecture in the Western Watershed Lecture Series. Mr. Cross is the author of the definitive Winslow Homer biography, Winslow Homer: American Passage, and his interdisciplinary lecture will focus on Homer’s use of chemistry, geometry, philosophical principles, conservation advocacy, narration, business acumen, and innovation to produce and market some of America’s most renowned and influential paintings. After Mr. Cross' lecture, there will be a book signing.

If you’re interested in attending this event remotely, use this link: https://western.zoom.us/j/84682639547

Author Bio: William T. Cross’s first biography, Winslow Homer: American Passage, was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in April 2022. He is now working on a second biography of the design impresario Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933), which will also be published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Cross served as Curator of the 2019 exhibition Homer at the Beach: A Marine Painter’s Journey 1869-1880 (Cape Ann Museum, Gloucester, Massachusetts). That show, and Cross’ accompanying 200-page catalogue, revealed Homer’s formation as a marine painter. In a full-page review, Lance Esplund of The Wall Street Journal described the exhibition as “handsome, historically rich and perfectly positioned.” Sebastian Smee of The Washington Post praised the exhibition’s “intimate, textured sense” and its “excellent catalogue.”

Oct 27, 2026: Jonathan Scales Fourchestra at Kincaid Concert Hall

Tue, 27 Oct 2026 18:00:00 -0600

You’ve heard this before, but the whimsically named Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is really tough
to describe. Veering from in-your-face, jaw dropping chops and passion, to those quiet
moments when the background noise disappears and you hold your breath to take in a
soundscape of solitude, the power trio of electric bass (E'Lon JD), drums (Maison Guidry), and
steel pans (Jonathan Scales) combines elements of jazz, classical, and progressive rock,
peppered with LaLn rhythms and soulful outbursts of funk. From club and fesLval stages across
North America and Europe, and tours of Africa, Southeast and Central Asia as a Cultural
Ambassador for the US Department of State, to their NPR Tiny Desk Concert featuring Béla
Fleck, the Fourchestra’s live shows make even the most jaded listeners forget where they are...
even if just for a precious moment.
This may seem an odd thing to say, but on the verge of releasing their eighth studio recording,
Jonathan Scales Fourchestra is only now truly embracing their idenLty as a group. For many

years, Jonathan’s live band was a fluid lineup of top-notch musicians, and even included an “all-
star” version with bassist MonoNeon (Prince, Nas), drummer Sput Searight (Snarky Puppy,

Snoop Dogg) and percussionist Weedie Braimah (Trombone Shorty, ChrisLan Sco[ aTunde
Adjuah), as well as a number of other marquee players. Now, however, the Fourchestra is a
decidedly indivisible band, and Jonathan is wriLng for the trio, not just the pans.

Featuring opening act, our own WCU Steel Band!

Join Western's Graduate Program in Creative Writing (GPCW) and new faculty member Michael Kleber-Diggs for this free hourlong online class.

Podcasting, audio recordings, and other media are essential to modern writing practice. In this Masterclass, poet and essayist Michael Kleber-Diggs, who hosts the podcast “Into a Darker Wilderness” with Erin Sharkey, will share the expansive ways he's come to think about nature writing—in both poetry and prose—through his own evolving practice and through conversations he’s had with other nature writers on the podcast. He'll share how he came to identify (at first somewhat to his surprise) as a nature writer, then dive into his thoughts on nature writing today. You’ll leave with ideas on how to embrace diverse ways of sharing your work and thinking.

oin Western's Graduate Program in Creative Writing and Screenwriting Director James Napoli for this free hour-long, online class.

Songs told in stories are part of a deep history in the evolution of music. From early oral traditions and the Greek stage to song-centered folk tales and story songs in folk, pop and hip-hop. Many popular songs echo classic story structure and invite the listener to follow along with character development, growth, change and realization.  Join James Napoli for a craft talk on the places where screenwriting and songwriting intersect, and an interactive brainstorming session on fashioning a story from a song.
