HMA has partnered with My Chapter House in Downtown Hickory to launch an ongoing Book & Art Club. Each month, participants will begin reading a new book on the 1st. On the 4th Thursday of the month, we’ll meet at My Chapter House for an art project inspired by that month’s book.

About the Book
One spring morning, a stranger arrives in the small southern city of Golden. No one knows where he has come from…or why…

His name is Theo. And he asks a lot more questions than he answers.

Theo visits the local coffeehouse, where ninety-two pencil portraits hang on the walls, portraits of the people of Golden done by a local artist. He begins purchasing them, one at a time, and putting them back in the hands of their “rightful owners.” With each exchange, a story is told, a friendship born, and a life altered.

A story of giving and receiving, of seeing and being seen, Theo of Golden is a beautifully crafted novel about the power of creative generosity, the importance of wonder to a purposeful life, and the invisible threads of kindness that bind us to one another.

Chapter Coffee Co. will be open until 6 PM so grab a coffee or chai tea to enjoy while we create art!
