Join us! The DelArt Readers, a community-led book club, meets monthly to discuss, debate, celebrate, and share both works of fiction and non-fiction. Our selections are focused on art, artists, and/or the artistic process either in general or in response to the Museum’s collections or exhibits. In addition to our interest in art and artists, we also seek to create a sense of community, conversation, and connection.
Join us in-person at DelArt on February 19 for Old in Art School: A Memoir of Starting Over by Nell Painter. Following her retirement from Princeton University, Dr. Nell Painter returned to school to get her BFA and MFA in painting. She finds meaning in the artists she loves (and comes to understand how they may have been undervalued) and struggles with the balance of love for her art and the reality of a life fully lived.
