This Is Not a Book Club!

Participants sidestep the commitment of lengthy novels during this discussion series at the Sarasota Art Museum. Instead of full-length books, the group reads short, curated texts—ranging from critical essays and artist manifestos to cultural journalism—provided prior to the meeting. Facilitators use the brief reading materials as a springboard to debate broader concepts in contemporary visual culture, encouraging attendees to draw connections between the texts and the museum's current exhibitions.
