Westbound
Adults looking for art enrichment programs are invited to join AMWA for the bi-monthly book club, Westbound. Every other month, AMWA staff will choose a book that focuses on themes from art history, Indigenous perspectives, and Western frontier history. Both fiction and non-fiction titles will be featured. Westbound meets the second Tuesday of every other month to discuss the book in AMWA’s art galleries. Pre-registration and tickets are required. Tickets are $5 each. Each meeting is limited to fifteen guests.
