Held one Saturday morning on select months
The Creative Book Club meets on select Saturday mornings to discuss readings by a variety of authors to help you stay inspired and motivated for your creative practice. The club is free and open to all who are interested in keeping their creative muse flowing and connecting with other creative people. Book selections will be announced on this website and in the Weekly eNews email in advance.
If you have questions, please contact the new facilitator Rusty Lynn (rustylynn@earthlink.net) and Programs Director (Programs@DelRayArtisans.org). Thank you to Sharon Burton for founding this book club in 2019 (originally called The Creative Spark Book Club) and leading it through March 2022.
Face masks are recommended inside the gallery.
