Silent Book Club and Banned Book Self-Guided Tour

Bexar county residents receive free admission to the museum from 10a.m. to Noon. During this time, we will have a self-guided banned book themed tour available.

From Noon to 1:00PM bring a blanket, your favorite book, and spread out on the museum’s west courtyard for SAMA’s first silent book club.  Often with traditional book clubs there is a rush to finish the assigned book, along with the added pressure to have something witty to say during the discussion. Introducing the silent book club, where book lovers meet at a certain time and place, read silently while enjoying the community and atmosphere of other readers. 

Those that participate in this program can enter to win a curated banned book basket donated by Nowhere Bookshop.

Banned Book basket contains the following:

Maus 1, Anti-Racist Baby, Bluest Eye, Gender Queer, The Hate U Give, All Boys Aren't Blue, Nowhere Books Store Pin, Nowhere Books Stickers, and SAMA Tote Bag. Over a $125 value.

With a strong interest in both the form and meaning of language, Sweeney collects words and phrases as the source material for developing humorous conceptual art in several mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, and site-specific installation.
