10:15 a.m.–noon
SDMA Boardroom
Be part of the Art of Reading Book Club, where art, literature, and art history converge.
Join fellow Museum members as we discuss Saint Sebastian’s Abyss by Mark Haber. Former best friends and rival art critics reunite after decades apart, drawn together by a mysterious nine-page email and the impending death of one of them. As one flies to Berlin, he reflects on the enigmatic Renaissance painting Saint Sebastian’s Abyss—the work that launched their careers, destroyed their friendship, and now frames this darkly comic meditation on art, obsession, and belief. A docent-lead tour relating to the book will follow. Coffee and light snacks will be served.
