Sun 09 Feb 2025

Join us for a delightful chat about Shelby Van Pelt's novel, "Remarkably Bright Creatures." Meet Marcellus, the octopus who's got more brains and wit than some humans I know. This charming marine resident, living the high life in a Pacific Northwest aquarium, observes his surroundings with the keen eye of a seasoned detective. Meanwhile, Tova, a widow navigating the murky waters of grief and aging, and Cameron, a young man on a quest to find his roots, find their lives intertwining thanks to this eight-armed genius. Who knew an octopus could play matchmaker in a sense?

After we've soaked in all those vibrant, inky insights, we'll take a leisurely stroll through Mint Museum Uptown's galleries. You can soak up some American art, modern pieces, contemporary gems, and crafty delights, while we draw parallels between the book and the artwork around us. Just think of it as a way to expand your cultural horizons while hanging out with friends. And hey, adults are $15, seniors and college students snag a deal for $10, and youth get to join in without spending a dime. Mark your calendar for February 9th, 2025, and get ready for a fun-filled day of literature and art discoveries in the heart of Charlotte.
