Join us on Sunday, September 22 at 2 pm at the Lutheran Church of the Nativity for Chartres Cathedral: Philosophy and Theology as Art, a NH Humanities Council program presented by Ty Perry.

Perry will lead a discovery tour of the philosophical and theological thought behind cathedral art, in particular, stained glass windows and sculpture. Avoiding the normal art historical approach (the development of styles over time) and avoiding critical evaluations of artistic style or merit, this is an inquiry into the “why” of windows and sculpture of medieval cathedrals, a search for the meaning, sometimes on the surface, sometimes hidden.

This program is free and open to the public. Refreshments, too.

Thanks, everyone for a great evening

Lisa Gardner book signingThank you, everyone! About 120 readers came to North Conway last night for the Big Event. Lisa Gardner gave a wonderful talk, and answered a variety of really good questions from the audience. She described the lengths she’ll go to get the details in her books right (Body Farm, anyone?), her writing process, tips for aspiring authors, and why popular writers have PO boxes. Then she took time to sign copies of her books (see photo). If you missed out, Valley Vision recorded the event, look for it on channel 3.
Lisa Gardner very generously donated her speaker’s fee to Children Unlimited.
If you participated in any part of 1 Book 1 Valley, either by reading Love You More, taking part in a book group discussion, attending a program, or coming to the Big Event on October 25, please take our feedback survey. It will help us plan for next year!
