Looking for a dedicated time to unplug and get some reading done? Join us for Silent Book Club! No assigned books or forced discussions, simply bring the book of your choice and enjoy some silence with fellow book lovers!

In collaboration with the Cincy Art Museum, Art to Ink brings art and creative writing together! Here's how it works: we'll show you a handful of pieces from the museums collection, you pick the one that grabs you, and then you get quiet time to write about it. A poem, a scene, a rant, whatever shows up. There's no right or wrong way! At the end, you can read what you wrote out loud if you want. Or you can fold it up and put it in your pocket forever. No pressure and no writing experience required! Come alone or bring a friend!

Erin Miller Reid and conversion partner Engler Gonzalez will be discussing Erin’s debut novel, But for Fortune.
