Art Book Circle

Art Book Circle encourages participants to engage with books through hands-on arts and literacy projects, discussion questions, and extension activities.


Art Book Circle was created as a hands-on alternative to traditional book clubs. We believe literacy can and should be fun and engaging and that art offers an excellent method. Groups who hire the services of Art Book Club choose a book or book series, and we organize an event which includes a hands-on arts and literacy projects, discussion questions, and extension activities based on the book or series. Excellent for youth and adult book clubs, school/organization literacy nights, library events, art making events, and festivals.
