About the event

Artists in Conversation: Divine Dissatisfaction
Sally King and April Tierney are returning to the library for another intergenerational conversation about the necessity and complexity of both making and sharing art within these times. Sally is a writer and visual artist, well known for her bear sculptures in town; April is a poet and craftswoman who offers seasonal readings and classes. With four decades between them, these innovative women intend to build a bridge between the generations through a stirring and intimate conversation about the importance of claiming our existence as creative beings and the divine dissatisfaction that is baked into art making. They will draw inspiration from Martha Graham's renowned advice to Agnes De Mille (quoted below) and create space for communal dialogue.

Please bring a friend and join us for this special event. There is no cost to attend. Coffee and snacks will be provided.

"There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You just have to keep yourself open and aware of the urges that motivate you. There is no satisfaction whatsoever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others." - Martha Graham to Agnes De Mille
