Reading Art Book Club - Las Cruces Museum of Art

The Reading Art Book Club (RABC) will hold its next meeting at 2:30 on Wednesday, January 14, 2009 at the Las Cruces Museum of Art. The meeting will focus on Sharon Waxman’s book Loot: The Battle Over the Stolen Treasures of the Ancient World. The topic is the on-going debate about ancient artifacts that are held in museums far from the countries of origin.

The Reading Art Book Club is dedicated to exploring the connections between art and literature. Books selected often relate to, echo, or enhance the Museum of Art’s varied exhibitions. The club meets the second Wednesday of every month. Future titles will be selected by consensus.

The Las Cruces Museum of Art is located at 491 N. Main St. in the downtown mall. For more information about exhibits and Studio Programs art classes call 575-541-2137 or visit the website http://museums.las-cruces.org
