One novel impacted the lives of ten characters in very different ways in No Two Persons.

To explore that theme of the 2025 One Book One Community selection, Chelsea Shar will lead “No Two Persons: A Conversation About Creating Art” at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 1 inside the Rodman Auditorium.

Registration is required.

The program will be an insightful and inspiring discussion of No Two Persons, a novel that delves into the complexities of creativity, artistic intention, and the profound impact art has on our lives.

Whether you're an artist seeking to connect with like-minded individuals or someone who simply appreciates the power of storytelling, this discussion will explore the themes of inspiration, the role of the artist, and how personal experiences shape the act of creation. Participants will reflect on the characters' journeys, the book’s exploration of art, and how the novel invites readers to think more deeply about the creative process.

The discussion is a space for open dialogue, where participants can exchange ideas, ask questions, and explore how art reflects and influences our lives.

Artists of all mediums are especially encouraged to attend. Whether you’re a visual artist, writer, musician, or simply someone with a passion for art, come be part of the conversation.
