Judy Collins has long inspired audiences with sublime vocals, vulnerable songwriting, personal life triumphs, and a firm commitment to social activism. In the 1960s, she evoked both the idealism and the steely determination of a generation united against social and environmental injustices. Five decades later, her presence shines brightly, as new generations bask in the glow of her body of work. Recently, artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Shawn Colvin, Dolly Parton, Joan Baez, and Leonard Cohen honored her legacy with the album Born to the Breed: A Tribute to Judy Collins. Her 55th album, Spellbound, released in 2022, finds her enjoying an artistic renaissance. It features 12 folk songs, and a bonus track of her evergreen, “The Blizzard.” She released her first book of poetry in March 2025 – Sometimes It’s Heaven, a collection that captures the ethereal and inspiring nature of her artistry.

AN UPDATE FROM THE FOUR ARTS

The Four Arts Campus will be renovated following the 2025-2026 season

To our Four Arts members, patrons, and friends:

Over the past few seasons, The Society of the Four Arts has begun planning transformative changes to The Esther B. O’Keeffe building, the heart of much Four Arts programming, and The John E. Rovensky Building, home of the beloved Children’s Library. Both buildings are around 100 years of age and are in need of renovation and expansion.

Backed by the generosity of supporters to our Centennial Campaign and following consultation and approval from requisite Town of Palm Beach committees and the Town Council, The Four Arts is now ready to transform these cherished buildings into exemplary 21st-century facilities for the enjoyment and comfort of Four Arts members and of our Palm Beach County community.

A project on this grand scale creates much excitement but also questions, so here is a question-and-answer update on what this means for The Four Arts now and in the future.

Q: What about the 2025–2026 season?

A: This season will be the same as previous seasons at The Four Arts. We have over 500 programs available to the public, many at no charge. All of our buildings will be open.

Q: What has been going on in the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden and the Four Arts Demonstration Garden?

A: The Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden has been closed at times this summer to undergo improvements, and closures and improvements may continue into the fall. Please check fourarts.org before planning a visit to the Sculpture Garden. The Four Arts Demonstration Garden remains open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting.

Both gardens are closed on major holidays and will close for inclement weather. This season, both will be closed for two weeks at the end of February for Four Arts special events.

Q: What happens in the spring and summer of 2026?

A: Beginning in April 2026, the O’Keeffe and Rovensky Buildings will begin undergoing renovations. Fencing will extend around both buildings and is expected to include the Four Arts Mall and U-shaped drive.

The north parking lots will remain open. The entire east side of campus (King Library, Dixon Education Building, Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden, and Four Arts Demonstration Garden) will remain open year-round. The Children’s Library will move temporarily into the Dixon Education Building.

The Rovensky Building, above, and the O’Keeffe Building will undergo renovations after this season. The rest of The Four Arts campus will remain open year-round during the renovations, with programming spreading to venues within the Town of Palm Beach.

Q: What about the 2026–2027 season?

A: Rest assured, The Society of the Four Arts will be open and will continue to host exceptional cultural programming for the 2026-2027 season and beyond.

Programming that would have been in the O’Keeffe building will be held in nearby venues within the Town of Palm Beach, the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden, or the Dixon Education Building. A full schedule of the Sanda & Jeremiah Lambert Concert Series, Friday Film Series, and HD Screenings will continue in 2026-2027. Stay tuned to future Folios for details about our venues and schedules.

The King Library will host its Florida Voices Author Series, Talk of Kings, Page Turners book discussions, along with biographies, short stories, crafts, and teen programs. Tech workshops and assistance continue to be offered.

The Campus on the Lake department will host world-class lecturers and classes & workshops which complement the season’s programming and the art of living well in the Dixon Education Building.

The Children’s Library will have Preschool and Family Story Times in the Sculpture Garden and Dixon Education Building with continued checkout of library materials, and outreach services. Our gardens will be open year-round to serve the Palm Beaches community.

There’s always something to inspire, entertain, educate, or enjoy at The Four Arts. We hope to see you here often!

A Very Private Collection

Four Arts’ fall exhibition assembled by Robert Flynn Johnson

By Ann Dumas

Special to The Four Arts

Robert Flynn Johnson is a true connoisseur. For more than 38 years, with passion, persistence, deep knowledge, and an unerring sense of when to seize an opportunity, he has been assembling a unique collection, starting with his first acquisition, a sensitive and modest monot ype of two trees by Edgar Degas the kind of work that at the time was of little interest to collectors of greater means and more obvious taste. That purchase demonstrates two key aspects of Robert’s collecting: his eye for the unusual and less familiar, and his love of the private, intimate side of the artists he admires.

Degas is at the heart of the collection and of the exhibition, Edgar Degas, The Private Impressionist; Works on Paper by the Artist & His Circle. Over the years Johnson has acquired drawings, prints, photographs, and sculpture by his favorite artist, one of the greatest draftsmen of the nineteenth century. The collection is especially strong in Degas’ drawings and includes outstanding works from the beginning of his career in the 1850s, many of them unpublished and exhibited here for the first time. A group of portrait drawings and figure studies shows the artist’s debt both to Ingres and to the Italian Old Masters. After his first acquisition, Johnson pursued his interest in Degas the printmaker, purchasing a substantial number of notable etchings and monotypes. The collection includes fine impressions of several of Degas’ most famous prints, such as his friends’ portraits, Edouard Manet and Mary Cassatt at the Louvre: The Paintings Gallery, and the important etching At the Cafe des Amhassadeurs.

Degas was a daring experimenter, a side of him that particularly appeals to this collector. In his early sixties, the artist tried his hand at photography. Johnson, with characteristic appreciation of the unexpected, has managed to find exceptional photographs that are striking for their complex orchestration and emotive lighting, as in Jules Taschereau Seated in Front of a Window, as well as delightfully informal outdoor groupings of his friends, including the composers Debussy and Chausson.

Learn about Edgar Degas, The Private Impressionist from its cocurator Robert Flynn Johnson, who also co-authored its accompanying catalogue. Mr. Johnson has over 50 years’ experience working as a curator in Baltimore and San Francisco and is an avid collector known for his eye for the unusual and his love of the intimate side of the artists he admires. All the works featured in The Private Impressionist are from his private collection and Edgar Degas is at the heart of the collection. In this talk, Mr. Johnson will share his professional experiences as well as his collecting philosophy, both of which have shaped his collection of drawings, prints, and photographs by the French Impressionist and his circle, and which provide an exceptional understanding of the artist and his world.

Johnson’s enthusiasm for Degas has led him to pursue the works of lesser-known but highly interesting artists who were the artist’s friends and associates. These include a group of beautiful drawings by Pierre Georges Jeanniot, an artist who shared Degas’ fervor for printmaking. One of his two portraits of Degas is a particularly moving drawing executed shortly before the artist’s death in 1917. Degas’ great friend and printmaking collaborator, Mary Cassatt, is represented by a fine etching. Other works by Degas’ friends Lepic, Legros, Desboutin, and Manet (whose famous etching of Baudelaire is included) all appear in the collection. Outstanding among the drawings are a head of the Virgin by Degas’ artistic idol, Ingres; a fine portrait by Gustave Moreau drawn in the 1850s when he and Degas were in Rome together; a strikingly informal study by the German artist Menzel, whose drawings Degas admired; a self-portrait by Cezanne; and a brilliant, lightning sketch by Toulouse-Lautrec.

Edgar Degas, The Private Impressionist; Works on Paper by the Artist & His Circle provides an exceptional opportunity to explore the treasures in this very private collection and to enlarge our understanding of Degas and his world.

Edgar Degas, The Private Impressionist: Works on Paper by the Artist & His Circle is organized by Landau Traveling Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA in association with Denenberg Fine Arts, West Hollywood, CA.

FRIDAY FILM

SERIES

An Ode to a Soprano’s Final Days

By John DiLillo

Maria Callas sang for audiences all around the world, but in Maria, she’s training for her final performance — for an audience of one. The famed opera singer “was always trying to please someone, a relationship, a family member, or a friend,” director Pablo Larraín (Jackie, El Conde) told Netflix. “And now in this film, at the end of her life, she decides to do it for herself. She’s going to try to sing for herself. This is a movie about someone who is looking to find her own voice and understand her identity.”

To play an icon of the stage, Larraín turned to Oscar winner Angelina Jolie. Jolie leaped at the opportunity to work with Larraín. “It wasn’t just an opportunity to tell the story of Maria Callas, a woman I find interesting and care for, but really to have a director who’s going to take you on a journey and is so serious about the work and tough on you,” Jolie (a director in her own right) told Netflix.

So Larraín and Jolie set out to tell the story of Maria Callas’ final days, with the help of a cast and crew committed to making a film that lived up to Callas’ legendary talent — and her legendary life. “We’re not looking at her with pity, and I don’t think the audience [will] feel sorry for her,” Larraín said. “I think the audience will understand who she was with such

a wonderful performance like Angelina has given.”

The opera performances in the film are made up of an AI combination of Jolie’s voice and archival recordings of Maria Callas — which meant Jolie had to train as an opera singer. “When Pablo said, ‘Can you sing?’ I thought, ‘I mean, sure, a little,’ ” Jolie said. “But the truth is, as he said to me, ‘You have to learn how to sing opera, or I will be able to tell when we are close on your face, because it’s who she is.’ ”

The complex technical presentation was a comfort for Jolie. “The good news about playing Maria Callas is nobody expects you to sing Maria Callas because nobody in the world can sing Maria Callas, right?” Jolie said. “Nobody at her time could match her, and it would be a crime to not have her voice through this, because in many ways, she is very present in this film. She’s the partner in this film with me; she and I are doing this together.”

Louise Sartor

A French painter who is known for her evocative and unconventional works that blend classical technique with contemporary sensibility. Trained in scenography at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs and later earning a Master’s from the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, Louise Sartor is celebrated for creating intimate portraits, moody landscapes, and delicate still lifes on found and repurposed materials — particularly mass-market packaging. Her work reflects on transience, memory, and the quiet beauty of decline, often using mediums like oil, gouache, and silverpoint to emphasize fragility and time’s passage. Sartor has exhibited widely, with solo shows at Galerie Crèvecoeur (Paris) and Galerie Belami (Los Angeles), and in group exhibitions including Voyage d’Hiver at the Château de Versailles. In 2022, she designed the official Roland-Garros poster.

In the words of the late Dina Merrill, Marjorie’s only daughter from her marriage to financier E.F.

Four Arts Sports Class Prepares to Tackle Season 2

By David Darby Four Arts Staff

You read that right, sports fans – we’re back!

Last season among its excellent Campus on the Lake bridge, opera, music, art, film and history class options, The Society of the Four Arts added a newcomer, “Let’s Talk Sports.” The class was created and led by Four Arts Head of Marketing & Communications David Darby.

Darby, a native of Detroit who graduated from the University of Michigan, previously spent 16 years as sports journalist at the Detroit Free Press, rising from freelance writer to editor in charge of producing the Free Press’ award-winning Sunday sports section.

“Detroit is a passionate sports town,” Darby said. “It has teams in all four major professional leagues, plus two major colleges nearby. But sports are just part of the buoyant cultural life of the city – Detroit has a wonderful art museum, science center, opera house, excellent theaters, a big zoo, and plenty of history. For me, it was natural to suggest a Sports class for the Four Arts.”

Season 2 will continue those objectives and is titled “Sports Top Tens, Predictions, & Special Guests.” The class will meet on Fridays from 10:30 a.m. to noon December 12, January 9, and March 13 in the Dixon Education Building.

“The class is open to anyone interested in sports, from casual observer to big-time fan,” Darby said. “We will talk about sports seriously but also examine them in a lighthearted way. I hope attendees enjoy the discussions and have a lot of fun too.”

Each class will discuss various Top Ten sports lists and feature a Q&A with a special guest who has worked in sports. We will share bold predictions about the college football playoffs (December), the NFL playoffs (January)

Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and players celebrate winning the 2023 college football national championship. Who will win this year?

and the NCAA basketball tournament (March).

December’s guest is scheduled to be Todd Ehrlich, author of the awardwinning The 20 Greatest Moments in New York Sports History. Ehrlich did over 100 original interviews for the book with some of the biggest names in New York sports history. Each event includes a time capsule, storylines that led up to the moment, a column from a local journalist to lend perspective, and first-person accounts from the people who made these moments happen.

“Todd’s book is a remarkable in-depth collection of sports memories,” Darby

said. “Many resonated nationally and will be familiar to non-New York sports fans, and several include names well known to the Palm Beach area.”

January’s guest will be Palm Beach Post sports editor Nick Pugliese, who has been a sports journalist for more than 45 years, doing everything from writing and copy editing to sports editor. He spent most of his career as a beat writer, covering the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Florida Gators, Florida State Seminoles and even the Tampa Bay Bandits of the defunct United States Football League. Pugliese has been with the Palm Beach Post for 10 years, the last five as sports editor.

From a nationally ranked virtual racer to being the first American to win the Formula Ford Festival, Formula 2 driver Max Esterson is only getting started on what will be a fruitful racing career. His lecture will explore the challenges and milestones of building a racing career from the ground up.

“Nick is a great storyteller and has plenty of amazing stories to choose from,” Darby said. “He’ll also prepare us for the Dolphins upcoming Super Bowl run or explain why they are missing the playoffs once again.”

The season’s guest list caps off with Neal Pilson, who as president of CBS Sports in the 80s and 90s helped transform the Tiffany Network into a live-sports-programming goliath and earned a reputation as a tenacious but honest negotiator and cerebral tactician. Departing CBS in 1994, he launched consulting firm Pilson Communications Inc. (PCI) and has played an integral role in the negotiations for billions of dollars in sports-rights deals over the past two and half decades.

“There’s going to be plenty to unpack with Neal,” Darby said. “Not only did he negotiate lucrative broadcast deals with the NCAA (Men’s Final Four –think ‘One Shining Moment’), the Olympics, the PGA Tour, NFL, NBA, and more, but he has met and worked with some of the greatest in the game, from Michael Jordan to John Madden and Jim Nantz.”

We hope you can join us for these three exciting presentations. Plenty of good seats are still available!

Each class will examine sports and fandom in a kind-hearted way with good humor.

Sissinghurst – A Garden, in a Ruin, in a Farm: Unlocking the Sense of Place Thursday, January 15, 2026 at 3 p.m.

Presented in partnership with The Garden Club of Palm Beach

Sissinghurst, created by writers Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson in the 1930s, and now owned by the National Trust, is held dear in the hearts of millions of garden aficionados as the quintessential model of a romantic 20th-century English country garden. Troy Scott Smith, who first encountered Sissinghurst 33 years ago when he worked there for five years as a gardener, arrived back at Sissinghurst as Head Gardener in April 2013 with the ambitious mission of conserving this world-renowned garden in the manner of these noteworthy creators, long after their death. Before starting Smith studied the distinctiveness of Sissinghurst as well as Sackville-West and Nicolson’s characters; not only their gardening style, but their philosophy, taste, motives, interests, constraints and ideas. Smith will talk about his work at Sissinghurst and his hope to bring about a celebration of everything that is good about Sissinghurst: Rich, lavish, generous, fragrant, optimistic and romantic to the extreme.

The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Monday, January 26, 2026 at 3 p.m.

Why did the greatest empire in Western history unravel? It’s a story of power, politics, ambition — even resilience — and eventual collapse. In this lecture, Rome-based archaeologist, historian, and television host Dr. Darius Arya will journey through Rome’s long decline, drawing from his work on site and on screen — from imperial palaces to remote outposts — to unpack the internal fractures and external pressures that brought it down. He will examine military overreach, political chaos, economic shifts, massive migrations, and cultural transformations. History doesn’t just echo — it warns. And in a time of global uncertainty, Rome’s fall feels more relevant than ever. As a TV host and archaeologist, he will bring the evidence to life, connecting ancient ruins to today’s realities. The past is never past — it’s a mirror.

The Authenticity Project

By Clare Pooley, facilitated by Dr. Rachel Schipper

Wednesday, December 10, 2025 at 1:30 p.m.

A solitary green notebook connects six strangers in unexpected ways. When lonely artist Julian Jessop leaves his honest life story in a café, others add their own truths, sparking new friendships, self-discovery, and even love. Filled with humor, heartache, and hope, this uplifting tale celebrates the courage to be authentic and the joy of genuine human connection.

PAGE TURNERS

The Stolen Queen

By Fiona Davis, facilitated by Mary Weiss with virtual guest Dr. Rachel Kreiter

From the summer of 1870 to the spring of 1871, famously dubbed the “Terrible Year” by Victor Hugo, Paris and its people were besieged, starved, and forced into surrender by Germans ― then imperiled again as radical republicans established a breakaway Commune, ultimately crushed by the French Army after bloody street battles and the burning of central Paris. As renowned art critic Sebastian Smee shows, it was against the backdrop of these tumultuous times that the Impressionist movement was born ― in response to violence, civil war, and political intrigue.

Peggy

By

Rebecca Godfrey & Leslie Jamison, facilitated by Carole Pichney

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 at 1:30 p.m.

Wednesday, January 14, 2026 at 1:30 p.m.

When a priceless artifact disappears during the Met Gala, an Egyptologist and a fashion assistant embark on a journey to uncover secrets buried in both time and sand. Dr. Kreiter’s expertise in Egyptian art and its modern connections will provide fascinating insights into the book’s historical and artistic themes.

Godfrey and Jamison offer a striking reimagining of Peggy Guggenheim’s extraordinary life. Born into wealth, Peggy loses her father in the Titanic disaster, an event that propels her toward a life of independence, art, and defying expectations. Navigating the sexist and anti-Semitic art scenes of New York and Europe, she becomes a pioneering collector, shaping modern art history.

FOUR ARTS STAFF

Four Arts Welcomes Goodman as Senior Director of Communications & New Media

Chris Goodman joined The Society of the Four Arts as Senior Director of Communications and New Media in October. Goodman brings two decades of experience spanning international film distribution, film production, and brand leadership across Fortune 500 and premiumservice sectors. His goals at The Four Arts are to amplify the institution’s voice across platforms, deepen audience engagement, and steward a contemporary, cohesive brand presence that aligns with its programs and patrons.

Born in Charlottesville, Virginia, Goodman grew up in Ohio, Connecticut, and Pittsburgh and studied communications at Elon University before relocating to Southern California to launch his career in media. He began in international film distribution, serving as Sales and Acquisitions Director for several agencies and overseeing the licensing and marketing of over 100 titles across global territories.

“I spent much of that time preparing for — or physically living on — the international film festival circuit,” he recalls, “representing directors and producers at Cannes, Berlin, Hong Kong, Toronto, Sundance, and beyond, and arranging licensing deals from Japan to Poland.” The experience, he notes, was “as challenging as it was rewarding,” and laid a strong foundation for his later work guiding narratives, negotiating complex partnerships, and building markets.

Goodman soon became more interested in the creative process and moved from distribution to production. He cofounded a production company and agency specializing in made-for-television romantic comedies, delivering four titles per year. “There is nothing more professionally rewarding than cultivating a story from concept to final cut,” he says. “A film set is a living orchestra: each person has a unique role, and everyone must rely upon one another to create something cohesive and compelling. The energy often swings from organized chaos to genuine harmony — guiding a team through that high-pressure process sharpens decision-making, clarity, and empathy in ways that few other environments can.”

Following the industry’s pandemic shutdowns and subsequent labor disruptions, Goodman sought new challenges. He managed media and brand storytelling for Cummins Inc., a Fortune 200 company, where he led crossfunctional initiatives that united message and medium, with business objectives. Most recently, Goodman pursued new business development for both individuals and corporations at Wheels Up, a leading private aviation brand.

Chris Goodman

Goodman’s introduction to The Four Arts came in 2024 through the late, esteemed Gil Maurer, who recognized the value of his diverse background and championed his involvement.

“From the moment I set foot on campus, I knew this place was special,” Goodman says. “Gil organized an exceptional first visit, including attending a luncheon with Robert Gates and a front-row seat for his talk to a full house — it was an afternoon that truly blew me away.” He adds, “After Gil’s passing, my passion for contributing to The Four Arts only grew further. Honoring his vision for the institution’s digital future — while protecting the timeless character of The Four Arts — is a meaningful ambition of mine.”

As Senior Director of Communications and New Media, Goodman will focus on an integrated brand strategy that joins editorial excellence with modern delivery. Priorities include refining visual identity and voice; expanding digital reach through thoughtful content, video, and live-streaming; strengthening social and community engagement; and ensuring that the institution’s distinguished programs — across lectures, performances, exhibitions, and educational initiatives — are presented with the clarity, accessibility, and distinction they deserve.

Falak Khan

Administrative Assistant for Development & Member Services

Falak Khan joined this summer as the Administrative Assistant for Development & Member Services, where she supports the team with day-to-day operations. Originally from the Middle East, Falak has been in the United States for over 10 years and made her full move from Atlanta, Georgia to Palm Beach in 2025. She holds a bachelor’s degree in computer science and brings a strong blend of technical skills, professionalism, and enthusiasm to the Society of the Four Arts.

Falak has pursued a passion for modeling and acting since 2018, with her journey beginning in Atlanta. She has worked on various projects and collaborations, including brand ambassadorships and media appearances.

When she’s not at work, Falak enjoys exploring the Palm Beach area, spending quality time with her kids and friends, experimenting with new recipes, or stepping in front of the camera for creative shoots and campaigns.

Anna Wyckoff Administrative Receptionist

Anna Wyckoff was born and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida. After earning her bachelor’s degree in Geography from Florida Atlantic University, she moved west to the Rocky Mountains. There, Anna attended the University of Colorado, where she earned her degree in Education. She went on to teach in the Boulder Valley School District for over 15 years, working with students from kindergarten through high school.

Recently, Anna returned home to Florida to be closer to her mother. This summer, she was thrilled to join The Society of the Four Arts, where she continues to combine her love of education with a deep appreciation for the arts.

In her free time, Anna enjoys spending time with family, kayaking, biking, and playing pickleball in the Florida sunshine.

Across three concerts, you will hear everything from folk songs first published in the 19th century to masterpieces by composers of the 20th century to the incomparable excitement of American movie music.
