Social: Blind Book Art Challenge

Wednesday, 10/28/2026
6:00 - 8:00

Suitable for:

Adults

Choose a gift-wrapped mystery, horror, or thriller book and create an original artwork inspired by its first paragraph or page, without knowing anything else about the story. Put your imagination, interpretation, and creative instincts to the test while connecting visual art and literature in an unexpected way over drinks and community.

At the end of the evening, participants will have the opportunity to share their artwork and take their book home.

All art supplies provided, though you're welcome to bring your own favorite materials.

For ages 21 and up.
