Join us this season for our Book and Lecture Club! Once a month (except December) for one hour come and connect with fellow Ocean Reef Members (You don’t have to be an Art League Member) as we discuss the featured book. A moderator will give some background, interesting facts and directs and encourages discussion. We even have people come who haven’t read the book to hear about it!
Deborah Geller
Book and Lecture Club Meetings are hosted at the Art League on Wednesdays from 4:00 – 5:00pm.

The Muralist
By B.A. Shapiro
“B.A. Shapiro captivated us in 2012 with her ‘addictive’ novel The Art Forger. Now, she’s back with another thrilling tale from the art world.” Alizee Benoit, a painter for the WPA, vanishes in New York City in 1940. No one knows what happened to her. 70 years later her great niece uncovers her paintings at Christie’s auction house.
