The Wandering Art Historian Book Club Comes to an End

All good things must come to an end and sadly, it is time to announce the end of The Wandering Art Historian book club.

Our final book – Luncheon of the Boating Party by Susan Vreeland – will be discussed on Sunday, October 30th at 2:00pm via Zoom.

The end of The Wandering Art Historian book club makes way for something new, or more appropriately, the revival of something old. I hope you will join me for in-person literary discussions as part of…

The Art Lover’s Book Club returns this November and runs through April 2023. The Leesburg Center for the Arts has graciously agreed to be our hosts and I so look forward to chatting with all of you on the first Tuesday of every month from 11:00am – 12:30pm.
