BMAC Reads brings book and art lovers together for book club-style discussions about books about art.

In her debut novel, Lonely Crowds, Stephanie Wambugu follows an intense friendship between two outsiders whose paths diverge as they navigate New York City’s competitive art world in the early 1990s. Exploring ambition, identity, belonging, and creative life, the novel illustrates how art can both connect and divide us, making it a rich starting point for thoughtful conversation.
 
Moderated by voracious reader and Brattleboro Literary Festival board member Elizabeth Catlin, BMAC Reads provides a mix of insightful conversation and fascinating perspectives—plus refreshments and an opportunity to explore the museum’s current exhibits. Space is limited, so register now, start reading, and don’t miss out on this unique blend of culture, conversation, and creativity.

BMAC Reads is supported by a gift in memory of Lorraine K. Wiesen, a lover of books and art.
