Dog Ears Bookstore will be offering a free literary and art program for senior citizens. Those 55 and older are invited to participate in the Around The World Literary & Art Program that will explore different countries and their authors, artists and culture.
On Wednesday, May 19, join in an exploration of Mexico! A literary instructor will introduce participants to the life and work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Octavio Paz. Various works from the authors will be read and reflected on. Following the literary discussion, a local glass artist will guide participants in making their own glass confetti bowl.
