Join us Thursday, December 14 from 6 to 7 p.m. for Bletcher Hour, the Gallery’s monthly critical reading group. Readings explore key themes of the exhibitions and current events, with the intent to deepen our understanding of the artworks and their context within our community.

This month we will be reading selections from Ocean Vuong’s Night Sky with Exit Wounds. Ocean Vuong is a Vietnamese American poet, essayist, and novelist. In his debut poetry collection, he unflinchingly faces the legacies of violence and cultural displacement while assuming a position of wonder in the face of romance, family, memory, grief, war, and melancholia.

This program is free to attend. Please contact Heather Kehoe, Program & Event Coordinator, to register. Readings are sent as PDFs in advance of the event. If you cannot make it in person, online attendance options are available.
