Curated returns for its third season! Curated is dedicated to cultivating community and artistic experiences through reading.
Every month we will come together to discuss not only a chosen book but also a curated list of artistic experiences that complement the themes of the book. Curated experiences will include local/virtual gallery exhibits, podcasts, touring/digital performances, workshops, recipes, music, and more.
Curated meets the last Monday of the month from 5:30pm-7:30pm. The first meeting will be held on Monday, August 30th. The first book will be announced to members on August 1st.
$50 membership.
5 books.
5 curated evenings.
At this time you are invited to participate in Curated in three different ways:
-
In person— join us on the Flower Hill dining porch to discuss the book and the curated experiences.
-
Over zoom— zoom into the meeting from your own home to discuss the book and the curated experiences.
-
In your own time — enjoy the Curated book suggestions and experience letters in your own time.
After signing up for membership, participants will receive a detailed welcome letter with instructions and resources to participate.
