Illustrated with photographs, journal entries, and letters that bring immediacy and poignancy to the narrative, Sally Mann’s latest book *Art Work* is full of insights about the hazards of early promise; the unpredictable role of luck; the value of work, work, work, and more hard work; the challenges of rejection and distraction; the importance of risk-taking; and the rewards of knowing why and when you say yes. In sparkling prose and thoughtfully juxtaposed visuals and ephemera, this reading and conversation with critic Leah Ollman is a generous, provocative exploration of creativity by one of our most original thinkers. Concessions available from 5:30–7pm, with book sales available before and after the program.
