The DelArt Readers, a community-led book club, meets monthly to discuss, debate, celebrate, and share both works of fiction and non-fiction. Our selections are focused on art, artists, and/or the artistic process either in general or in response to the Museum’s collections or exhibits. In addition to our interest in art and artists, we also seek to create a sense of community, conversation, and connection.
Join us in-person at DelArt on October 30th for The Lioness of Boston by Emily Franklin. When Isabella Stewart Gardner opened her Italian palazzo-style home as a museum in 1903 to showcase her collection of old masters, antiques, and objects d’art, she was already well-known for scandalizing Boston’s polite society. This fictional account of Isabella Stewart Gardner deftly depicts a woman coming into her own within the confines of high-society Boston then seen all the way through the Gilded Age.(Fiction)
