For our fifth session (Winter–Spring ’24), we will read four writers who are very familiar to the literary landscape. In fact, these writers and their novels embed themes that will converge with the themed-exhibition, This is Not Black & White. We will extend the book lab’s discursive platform by linking up featured artists and their works with each of the novels.
If this assemblage of original and diverse voices sounds compelling, please join us at Plains Art Museum on the select dates below. Light refreshments and beverages will be provided. Feel free to bring your own beverages/snacks, as well. To encourage broad participation, you may acquire the selected texts through convenient means, as per your situation. Also note: Critical Grooves Book Lab selections will also be available for purchase from The Store at Plains Art Museum. Ages 16+ are welcome. We exercise respect among ourselves.
For more information and/or participation contact Dr. Kelvin Monroe at kmonroe@plainsart.org.

First Monday of every month from 2-5 PM
We embrace the unique qualities of all who walk through our doors and appreciate that many visitors need to explore the Museum in different ways. For individuals and families who prefer a quiet, less sensory-stimulating environment, we offer Low-Sensory Mondays on the first Monday afternoon of every month. At each event, loud gallery sounds and bright lights are turned down and attendance is limited. Fidgets will be available for checkout.
