Art AfterWords: A Book Discussion
Tuesday, May 11, 5:30-7 p.m.
Online via Zoom
The National Portrait Gallery and the DC Public Library would like to invite you to a virtual conversation about power, gender and collective memory. Join us as we analyze portraits from the exhibition “Every Eye Is Upon Me: First Ladies of the United States” and discuss the related book “Rodham” by Curtis Sittenfeld. Participants are encouraged to visit the exhibition before the event. DCPL cardholders can access “Rodham” here.
FGIDC invites you to join us for Wine & Words, our biannual book club event, as we kick off summer reading with “Own It: The Secret to Life” by Diane von Furstenberg.
What You Will Need
To prepare for the start of the book club on June 2, we ask that you read “Own It: The Secret to Life,” so that you can participate in the discussion.
The event will be moderated by FGIDC board member Kristen Schott, the editor of Philadelphia Wedding, and a contributing writer to Northern Virginia Magazine, Condé Nast Traveler, and the Los Angeles Review of Books. She’ll have a glass of wine in hand for the event, and we hope you do, too.
While our first book club event will take place virtually, we plan to move to an in-person format in October at an exciting new location.
Those who register and attend our June book club will get exclusive access to pre-register and reserve their spot for October.
June 2 | 7:00-8:00 p.m. ET
Registrants will receive the Zoom link via Eventbrite email.
