Started by the Library-As-Incubator Project, the Book to Art Club is a book + art-making club that exists virtually and in-person at libraries around the world. Our selection for this year is HG Wells' War of the Worlds, a story told time and again through various media--films, comics, radio. Come for some general discussion (of both the book and other incarnations) and make some art. At the end of the year, we will turn our collective endeavors into a book art/zine project in time for the Manifest Celebration.
(Henrique Alvin Correa, 1906)
