Book Talk- Art Above Everything with Stephanie Elizondo Griest
Advertisement
Join us in welcoming back author Stephanie Elizondo Griest as she reads and signs copies of her new book ART ABOVE EVERYTHING.
Meet queer, BIPOC, and women artists around the world as they discuss the gifts, costs, and redemptive power of pursuing a creative life
Is the all-encompassing quest to become a self-sustaining artist worth the sacrifices it often requires?
Throughout her 20s and 30s, Stephanie Elizondo Griest could not help worrying if constantly prioritizing her writing over everything else--from postponing children to living nomadically to save on rent--was leading her to fulfillment or regret. After a break-up and serious health crisis in her early 40s, she decided to turn to other women artists for their perspectives on that perennial question: is art enough?
Art Above Everything introduces us to “art monks” around the world: legendary authors, painters, dancers, and musicians who have devoted their lives to their creative pursuits.
