Beyond the Cover: A Literary Art Show & Conversation
Explore the evolution of book cover art through a curated collection of vintage and international editions of classic Black literature.
November’s show highlights selected works by Toni Morrison, Octavia Butler, and James Baldwin, tracing how their books have been visually interpreted and reimagined across different decades and countries.
Guests will have the opportunity to view these unique editions, participate in a literary panel discussion exploring themes of belonging to a community and belonging to yourself, and enter special giveaways featuring vintage editions of selected works.
Join us for an evening celebrating Black literature, visual storytelling, and the enduring impact of these authors.

Admission includes:
Complimentary drinks and light refreshments
Access to the literary art show and panel discussion
A gently used copy of Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower for the first 10 people to purchase a ticket
