Adults
Book Club
We invite you to read selected novels about art or famous artists before we meet, and then join us on the first Wednesday morning of each month, for an art history presentation about that month’s novel, the portrayed artist, and related art, as presented by Triton Museum Executive Director Preston Metcalf and Triton Museum Associate Curator Vanessa Callanta. Learn how the novel does — or doesn’t — comport to the actual history of its subject, and hear more about the artwork and the artists’ times in which they were created.
Admission to the monthly book club art history lectures is free for Triton Museum of Art Members ($5 donation requested for non-members), and all are welcome, whether you have actually read the book or not. Coffee and pastries will be served.
Discussions are held safely distanced & in person at the Triton Museum of Art Free for TMA members, $5 suggested donation for non-members

About the Artist
After discovering an unused welder's set in his father-in-law's garage, Owen became a successful and prolific metal sculptor. Owen lets his imagination run free in his work, creating one of a kind pieces out of found and collected metal. Whether his works are muted or vibrant, angular or flowing, they are all unique and beautiful to view. This exhibition features large to small scale sculptural works, as well as wall pieces.
