Our History

LiterARTure was born in 2016, when we were sitting outside the San Marco Starbucks in Jacksonville, Florida, bemoaning the lack of civil discourse in our world. 

Not the type to bemoan too, too much, we came up with an idea. “What if we married books and art, showing what we, as Americans, have in common?” Since then, using that template, we’ve presented numerous examples based on different themes in our annual LiterARTure series. 

LiterARTure is always packed with information and peppered with a healthy dose of wit! We’ll see you soon!

  • Cindy and Stacey consistently provide discussions that are not only entertaining but expand my knowledge of literature and art. I appreciate the amount of time that they devote to creating their lectures.

  • This has been SO wonderful - what a fantastic lecture! Thank you both!!!

  • Thank you both so much. Very interesting! Always learn for you all! This series and the lecturers have been engaging. I appreciate the popular culture connections and other text-to-text connections.

  • References to basketball AND aphrodisiacs! You’ve outdone yourself!

  • Thank you both for the enlightening lesson. I was alternately gob smacked with your knowledge and amused by your humorous comments. I will never again look at Whistler's "Arrangement in Grey and Black" in the same way.
