The lectures are always free of charge and open to the public.

The noon Lunch Bag Lectures are held the third Thursday of the month from 12:15 p.m. to 12:45 p.m. at the Leslie Powell Gallery, 620 D Ave., in Lawton. The time gives you plenty of time to arrive and depart during the lunch hour, with maybe a minute or two to browse the gallery. The evening events are from 7 to 8 p.m. Lawton Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) Lunch Bag Lectures are the Friday before an LPO concert.

Bring your own lunch or try our refreshment and beverage table. Bring a friend or come alone and make a new pal -- there are no strangers at the Lunch Bag Lectures -- this is where the most interesting people in Lawton gather.
