A SPECIAL EVENT: FREE Ayn Rand Institute Open House with Workshop on Intellectual Activism and Archives Tours

On Wednesday, July 2, from noon to 7 pm, ARI will host a special Open House for conference attendees. There is no charge to participate in this one-of-a-kind event. Refreshments will be served, and ARI programs will be showcased, with staff members available to answer questions. The ARI offices are located an easy seven-mile drive from the conference.

This Open House will also feature a cultural activism workshop titled "How to Be an Agent of Cultural Change," led by Debi Ghate, vice president of Academic programs, and Tom Bowden, an analyst at the Ayn Rand Institute. This workshop is designed for any conference attendee who is interested in supporting ARI's efforts to bring about a cultural renaissance. Whether you have ten minutes or ten hours a day to devote to grass-roots cultural activism, this workshop will provide information about ways that you can help ARI to reach as many people as possible—and help Objectivism take its rightful place in the mainstream of cultural discourse.

There will be special items on display from the Ayn Rand Archives, as featured in three recent exhibits on Ayn Rand: two at the Frances Howard Goldwyn Hollywood Regional Library and one at the Nabokov museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. Self-guided tours of these exhibits will be offered. For professional and aspiring Ayn Rand scholars, archivist Jeff Britting will host a two-hour hands-on introduction to doing scholarly research in the Ayn Rand Archives (contact us at 1-800-365-6552, ext. 239, for more information).
