This Saturday: Say YES! Book Signing with Mary O’Connor

This Saturday! BOOK SIGNING EVENT
with author Mary O’Connor
Say Yes! to Your Creative Self

at Guilford Art Center
Saturday, July 13 • 1:00-3:00 p.m.

Say Yes! to Your Creative Self provides readers with tips, examples, and practices designed to boost ways of seeing the world through the lens of creative thinking.

As Mary explains, “Creativity is here for us all, regardless of where your interest lies, and its effect extends far beyond artistic expression. Being creative involves repackaging beliefs and ideas in ways that unlock and revamp thinking. It can help us deal successfully with the social and environmental issues of today’s rapidly changing world.”

Come meet Mary and get your own copy of Say Yes! to Your Creative Self at a book signing on Saturday, July 13 from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. at Guilford Art Center. There will be give-aways, and a chance to see the national juried exhibition Ceramics Biennial 2024 during your visit.
