Art & Author Night

Friday, May 27 at 6  p.m.

Art Opening:  Stairs with artist Janet Van Fleet

My husband RD Eno and I have just come back from 6 weeks in New Orleans, where I took a lot of photographs of the fronts of houses and paired them with objects I found.  Stairs are literally and metaphorically a transition from the outside to the inside, from the public to the private, so there's a lot going on there!  The show runs from May 23 to July 16.

7 p.m. Reading with RD Eno

 Friend’s Annual Plant Swap:

Saturday, May 28 from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
