CrossTalk: Read Between the Lines

Literary agent Molly Friedrich and New York Times writer Lisa Belkin have years and pages of experience hearing the voices - spoken and written – reading between the lines and bringing the stories to life.  Hear their words and find out how their own stories intersect on Thursday September 16 at CrossTalk, the provocative and popular series sponsored by the Katonah Museum of Art (www.katonahmuseum.org) in partnership with the Katonah Village Library.

A 6:30pm wine reception precedes the one hour program, which begins at 7:00pm at the Museum. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. Reservations are required. Proceeds from CrossTalk support children's programming at the Katonah Museum of Art and the Katonah Village Library. Information and tickets are available at the Museum. Call (914) 232-9555, ext. 0 or email info@katonahmusuem.org. The Katonah Museum of Art is located at 134 Jay Street/Route 22 in Katonah, NY.

Now celebrating a wildly successful second season and named "Best Lecture Series" by Westchester Magazine, CrossTalk features two experts talking on unrelated topics, with the collision of disparate subjects leading to unexpected insights and connections during the audience question-and-answer period that follows.
