Simply The Best Book Club About Art
OUR APRIL PICK
In Get the Picture, Bosker throws herself into the nerve center of art and the people who live for it: gallerists, collectors, curators, and, of course, artists themselves--the kind who work multiple jobs to afford their studios while scrabbling to get eyes on their art. As she stretches canvases until her fingers blister, talks her way into A-list parties full of billionaire collectors, has her face sat on by a nearly-naked performance artist, and forces herself to stare at a single sculpture for hours on end while working as a museum security guard, she discovers not only the inner workings of the art-canonization machine but also a more expansive way of living.
Art Book Club
Welcome to the Art Districts Book Club! Our literary community is dedicated to providing a carefully curated selection of monthly reads, all centered on the vibrant world of the arts and the creative spirits who inhabit it. Within our club, you'll find a variety of engaging picks spanning four categories: coffee table books, exhibition catalogues, art novels, and works focused on education and creativity. We aim to offer our members a diverse and enriching reading journey through the captivating realms of artistic expression.
Why a Book Club?
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our exclusive book club dedicated solely to the vibrant world of art. Our decision to create this club stemmed from a profound belief that writers are artists in their own right. However, we were driven to maintain a distinct focus on the realm of art, encompassing a diverse array of mediums and expressions.
Our mission is to celebrate the intersection of literature and art, showcasing works that delve into the creative process, explore the lives of artists, or offer insights into the business and culture surrounding artistry. Whether it's a museum or gallery catalogue, a novel featuring an artist protagonist, or educational texts on the business of art, our curated selections are designed to ignite passion and spark meaningful conversations within our community.
In partnership with Bookshop, we've established our very own curated online bookstore, providing members with convenient access to our handpicked recommendations. Every purchase made through our online shop not only enriches your personal library but also supports independent bookstores, fostering a thriving ecosystem for literature and art alike.
