Dates for other appearances at universitites, book clubs and stores, libraries, museums, festivals and Arts Councils are currently being set up. Ms. Solomon's thirty to forty-five minute lecture on the life of Tania Proskouriakoff can include slides. Her presentation at the Mint Museum of Art was well-received, and the question-answer period which followed was challenging and lively. Her appearances with book clubs have gotten excellent reviews.

UNAM, Universidad Nacional Autonomo de Mexico, hopes to hold an Exhibition on Tatiana Proskouriakoff in Mexico City.
