Artists paint with color; writers paint with words - together they enrich our community. Emerging writers can read from their works, surrounded by visual art from local artists, at the Lamorinda Arts Council inaugural event, "Art Embraces Words," from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, May 19 at the Lafayette Community Center. This Sunday series continues through the end of the year and is made possible by a generous grant from the Lafayette Community Foundation.
Master of ceremonies and Lafayette resident Lynn Carey, former host of the Times Book Club, introduces writers at approximately 10-minute intervals between 2 to 3 p.m. A reception follows from 3 to 4 p.m. with light refreshments. First up is writer Michelle Hoffmann, international best-selling author of "Life Worth Living - A Practical & Compassionate Guide to Navigating Widowhood & Sole Parenting."
