Please join us for informal book club discussions hosted by Leslie Connito! The intention and direction of the Remix is to share fresh ideas from new and admired writers. Like a salon, this platform could bring members work together for shows by sparking new ideas through open and shared discussion.
Books and Meeting Times
3PM – 4PM after Art for Peace on every 2nd and 4th Tuesday as listed below.
The Cloisters, by Katy Hays: Feb. 14 and 28
Horse, by Geraldine Brooks: Mar. 14 and 28

Visual Thinking, by Temple Grandin, June 13 and 27

The books should encourage artistic perspective, and motivate discussion in our group, thereby merging our inspirations.
Books chosen are suggested by The New Yorker, Goodreads, The NY Times, and Art News and attempt to pertain to, and fulfill, the Inspirational Art Group’s creative direction.
