February Arts Passport Book Club: Florida
In partnership with Florida Botanical Gardens
In February, we’ll slow things down and step outside with Florida by Lauren Groff—a vivid, strange, and often unsettling collection that captures the beauty and brutality of the state we call home.
We’ll gather for a guided day in the gardens, letting Groff’s landscapes echo through the real thing.
Book Club Gathering:
Florida Botanical Gardens
Saturday, February 21
11:00 AM - Book Discussion, 12:00 PM - Garden Stroll

Come for the book, stay for the community — and leave with your mind expanded and your soul stirred.
March Arts Passport Book Club: The Silence of the Girls
In partnership with The Studio@620
March brings us power, war, and women’s voices long pushed to the margins. We’ll read The Silence of the Girls, Pat Barker’s searing retelling of The Iliad from the perspective of the women enslaved by its heroes.
We'll meet at The Studio@620 for an all-female production of Julius Caesar, putting questions of power, loyalty, and violence into bold contemporary focus.
