ART@noon Salon and Other Art Books

The ART@noon Salon meets virtually on Zoom from Noon – 1 p.m. each month on the third Thursday of the month. You do not have to be an art expert to join the ART@noon Salon. The only requirement for attending is curiosity and the desire to have fun talking about great works of art. 

We also sponsor in-person events to attend art galleries and performances of music, dance, and theatre. We organize annual art walk trips to New York, Washington D. C., and Philadelphia.

Go to our Bookshop link listed below to see more art books we have recommended in the past.
