Braid Studios New Book Club

Something new is happening! Introducing the Braid Studios Book Club – Books for Creative Lives

For our first seasonal read, we’ll be exploring Art & Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking by David Bayles and Ted Orland.

This thoughtful and reassuring book looks at why art gets made, why it sometimes doesn’t—and the very human fears, doubts and difficulties that can cause artists to lose their way.

Hosted by Braid artist Jennie Johnston, the Book Club will gather every second Wednesday for relaxed, thoughtful conversation about the book and the realities of building and sustaining a creative life.

Our first gathering on October 7 will be an informal meet-and-greet: a chance to meet Jennie and the other members, learn more about the book and settle into the reading journey together.

Wednesdays | 6:30–8:30 PM
October 7 & 21
November 4 & 18
December 2

The complete five-gathering series is free, but advance registration is required and space is limited to 10 participants.

Participants will need their own copy of Art & Fear. A reading schedule will be provided at the first gathering.
