The secretary of defense under Donald Trump for two years, a multi-platinum singer-songwriter, and the host of one of the major Sunday-morning talk shows are among the guest lecturers slated to appear at Society of the Four Arts’ esteemed O’Keeffe Speaker Series in 2022. General James Mattis, Josh Groban and Chris Wallace are just three of the 13 bookings recently announced for January through March, high season at the Palm Beach cultural institution.
The Four Arts historically has brought A-list figures from media, civic life, the arts and entertainment for this series, but next year’s slate looks especially star-studded. It also includes Florida chronicler and novelist Carl Hiaasen, champion of political moderation P.J. O’Rourke, influential activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali and astronaut Kathy Sullivan.
The return of this popular series has been a long time coming. Owing to pandemic disruptions, when Sir Alex Younger takes to the podium on Jan. 4, it will mark the first O’Keeffe Speaker Series appearance in 22 months. All lectures are free for Four Arts Members and $50 for the general public, and they run 3 p.m. Tuesdays at the Four Arts’ Gubelmann Auditorium, 100 Four Arts Plaza. Here’s what we have to look forward to.
