Since 1998 “One Book” projects have connected people through literature by encouraging an entire community to read one book and share the experience through public readings and discussions. The Crocker is expanding this idea by adding art to the mix by presenting “One Book/Many Perspectives.”
Admission to this event is $10 for museum members, $20 for nonmembers. To order tickets online, visit www.crockerartmuseum.org and click on “Buy Tickets.” Or simply call the museum at (916) 808-1182.
