See what a Meetup member of Art Out of School had to say about Open Reading Night at the Cornell Art Museum! “A wonderful mix of interesting minds and meaningful sharing…from poems with depth and strong metaphorical images to memoirs that were wonderful stories and an especially instructive story of instinct turned to courage. Add magnificent oceanic art work and primate fashion imagery and you get an eclectic evening that was artistically fulfilling. Can’t wait for next months installment of the horse farm mystery.” — Paul H. Barber
