The AAC is hosting a book discussion on the book Art & Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking by David Baylis and Ted Orlando. Art & Fear explores the way art gets made, the reasons it often doesn't get made, and the nature of the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way. The book's co-authors, David Bayles and Ted Orland, are themselves both working artists, grappling daily with the problems of making art in the real world. Their insights and observations, drawn from personal experience, provide an incisive view into the world of art as it is experienced by artmakers themselves. A standard among artists, Art & Fear is widely available in libraries or second-hand shops. Please come even if you haven’t read the book as the topics raised are universal to artists and discussion will revolve around personal experience. Point person is Jill Althouse-Wood. Book discussions are free and open to the public. You are welcome to bring a snack to share or just come as a you are.
