An Evening With Sally Mann on Art Work: On the Creative Life

In Art Work: On the Creative Life, critically acclaimed photographer and author Sally Mann offers a spellbinding mix of wild and illuminating stories, advice both practical and not, and life lessons. Written in a direct, fearless, and occasionally outrageous tone, the book reaffirms Mann as a unique and resonant voice for our times. Illustrated throughout with photographs, journal entries, and letters that bring immediacy and poignancy to the narrative, Art Work is full of thought-provoking insights about the hazards of early promise; the unpredictable role of luck; the value of work, work, work, and more hard work; the challenges of rejection and distraction; the importance of risk-taking; and the rewards of knowing why and when you say yes. In sparkling prose and thoughtfully juxtaposed visuals and ephemera, Mann’s latest book is a generous, provocative, and compulsively readable exploration of creativity by one of our most original thinkers.

This is a ticketed event that includes one copy of the book and two (2) tickets for entry ($35); companion tickets do NOT include a book. NOTE: Friends of the Fair may use their available complimentary Evenings With tickets for this program and do NOT need to purchase a book-bundled ticket to attend.
