Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
The annual lecture, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), is the most prestigious honor the federal government bestows for distinguished intellectual achievement in the humanities.
Tickets to the 2014 Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities are free of charge and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis through this online registration form only. Ticket requests cannot be accepted over the phone or by email.
Due to the high demand for tickets for the Jefferson Lecture, ticket requests will be limited to two tickets per email address. Please note that TicketLeap receipts are proof of registration only, and do not in themselves constitute a ticket to the May 12th Jefferson Lecture.
Actual tickets may be picked up (using either photo ID or a TicketLeap receipt) at an NEH Will Call table in the John F.
