The cultures of ancient Greece and Rome left the world with a treasure trove of stories and legends. These are timeless tales filled with all-powerful gods like Venus and Apollo, fearless heroes like Hercules, as well as mighty Amazon warriors and deadly monsters. Today we refer to this lore as classical mythology.

Join us on Tuesday, October 13 at 12pm when docent Mike Madrid will share how these myths inspired artists for thousands of years and are brought to life within the collections of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco.

Got an idea but not sure where to start? Join us on Thursday, Sepember 10 at 11am and turn that spark into a writing project!

In this friendly introduction, Bridget Burke will show you how to begin a writing project with ChatGPT. You will learn how to turn a general idea into a clear project, explain what you hope to accomplish, ask ChatGPT to interview you one question at a time, and gather useful material without becoming overwhelmed.

By the end of the class, you will understand the basic terrain of writing with AI and know what useful question to ask next. Come ready to explore, experiment, and discover that you do not need a perfect prompt to begin.
