The January salon theme is “Shape-shifters: Writing as the next act.” It will feature authors Grace Dane Mazur, Hank Phillippi Ryan, and Lesley Bannatyne. The Arlington Author Salon is a free reading with a twist: each author’s presentation includes something special to tickle the senses. Music, paintings, photographs and more. Let yourself be transported with an immersive, literary experience.

Thursday, January 11th at 7:30 p.m. at the Kickstand Cafe in Arlington Center. In person. Masks encouraged. No advance sign up needed — just walk in! This event will also be recorded and posted online. Supported by the Arlington Libraries Foundation.
