Anyone that has been following WorcesterScene.com’s posts will know that we are fans of the Worcester Art Museum’s Third Thursday series. This year’s line-up is no exception as each month has brought some great aspects together: art, tastings (from wine to whiskey, and from coffee to chocolates), and local musicians. It is the perfect opportunity to get out into an environment rich in culture and meet some interesting new people! This month will certainly not be a month to miss. November’s Third Thursday has Jerome Cloche as the invited guest to share his fascination of absinthe, recently legalized for consumption in the United States. Absinthe has inspired artists and writers during the Belle Époque era, including Vincent van Gogh, Édouard Manet, Paul Verlaine, Ernest Hemingway, Oscar Wilde, and Mark Twain. Guests will also tour artwork from the Belle Époque and enjoy a poetry reading. This is a 21+ event. Cost is free to members, $10 for nonmembers.
