Author Reading & Artist Talk
Please join us in Gallery 366 for an artist talk by Mary Pettis and a reading by author Peg Guilfoyle, followed by book signings and light refreshments.
Peg Guilfoyle is the author of The Guthrie Theater: Images, History, and Inside Stories (Nodin Press), which won a Midwest Book Award and an Independent Publishers Award, and Offstage Voices: Life in Twin Cities Theater (Minnesota Historical Society Press).
Her newest book, An Eye for Joy: Noticing the Good World Everywhere (Sea Crow Press), was released on November 5th. Mary is featured in one of Peg's essays!
In An Eye for Joy, Peg "invites readers to embrace the impulse to wonder, the practice of noticing, and the deep inclination toward joy—no matter life’s difficulties. Through short, sparkling true stories, the author reveals how the good world is everywhere, waiting to be seen, savored, and celebrated daily.
Each essay is a “diamond necklace” of moments that illuminate the beauty often overlooked, reminding readers that paying attention is a life-saving spiritual practice accessible to all."
An Eye for Joy was recently in the news (Kare11, WCCO News, WCCO Radio, and Fox 9 News)! Click HERE to learn more.
