The Bookish Buzz with Hudson Art Gallery

Join us for The Bookish Buzz, an informal gathering of book lovers for conversation centered on an author, book, or theme. Hosted by Chapter2 Books at Black Rooster Bistro; we bring together authors or community partners for fun conversations inspired by books while enjoying the ambience and excellent hand-crafted cocktails and curated spirits of Black Rooster Bistro. 

Order your cocktail at the bar before the presentation starts, and plan to arrive early or stay late to enjoy a sublime meal in Black Rooster Bistro’s main dining room. 

Whether you're here to learn, share, or simply enjoy the atmosphere, it's the perfect evening out for book lovers and cocktail enthusiasts alike. Both Chapter2 Books and Black Rooster Bistro look forward to welcoming everyone for another great year of bookish conversations. 

In February, Tom Adamson, owner of Hudson Art Gallery and a member of the Visual Art Council of The Phipps Center for the Arts, for a deep dive into the book Saving Vincent: A Novel of Jo van Gogh by Joan Fernandez. Tom Adamson is one of Hudson's foremost advocates for the visual arts; his enthusiasm for visual art and art collecting spans many years, including his business career in many design-centric businesses. 

Tom will walk us through this biographical novel, examining it through the lens of contemporary art during the time of Jo van Gogh, who faced challenges both because of her position as a woman in 1891 and her lack of expertise in the art world. We'll also discuss the genre of biographical fiction; what is the effectiveness of presenting historical events as a narrative novel rather than a non-fiction biography? 

Tickets are $10 and include a $5 coupon for Chapter2 Books.
