Description

Join us for the ​Cultivate Art + Book Club.  This is a free book club to ignite creativity and learning with the community. 

In this monthly book club experience, participants read the book, make art related to the book or artist, and discuss.  

Our October book is: Seven Days in the Art World, by Sarah Thornton.

Book Description: 

"An indelible portrait of a peculiar society." ―Vogue

Sarah Thornton's vivid ethnography―an international hit, now available in twenty translations―reveals the inner workings of the sophisticated subcultures that make up the contemporary art world. In a series of day-in-the-life narratives set in New York, Los Angeles, London, Basel, Venice, and Tokyo, Seven Days in the Art World explores the dynamics of creativity, taste, status, money, and the search for meaning in life.

Sarah Thornton's Seven Days in the Art World was named one of the best art books of the year by the New York Times and is available in sixteen languages. She was the chief writer on contemporary art for the Economist. She holds a BA in art history and a PhD in sociology.

 

We recommend that participants get their books from a local bookstore.  We highly recommend Books and Mortar!
