This event has ended.
We are thrilled to invite you to an exciting afternoon as we celebrate the release of What Is Color? by Steven Weinberg. Meet the author, get your copy signed, and enjoy a cold treat while Steven reads from his book and answers your burning questions. This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow book & art lovers!
Inness Members who pre-order their copies from Rough Draft Books will also receive a personalized note inside and a very special art print!!! This is for pre-orders only. Rough Draft will also have copies available for purchase during the event.
So what is color? A red apple? A yellow banana? The purple goo from a squished sea snail? Once you start digging, color turns out to be a lot of things--it's messy, stinky, and even a little bit dangerous. You may already know that it's art, but it's science, too! What Is Color? will take readers all over the world, introducing them to talented, brilliant, creative people from scientists to famous artists and everyone in between as we take the color wheel for a spin. Perfect for curious and creative minds who love paintbrushes as much as microscopes, this clever and eye-catching full-color nonfiction book dives deep into the strange, wacky, silly, and occasionally perilous history behind the colors that paint our everyday lives.
This event is complimentary for all Members & Hotel Guests, and open to the general public with the purchase of a ticket. Please park up top and make your way down to the Event Barn by foot. There is no parking permitted at the tennis court/barn/pool area.
PRE-ORDER SIGNED COPIES AVAILABLE FOR PICKUP AT INNESS ON AUGUST 29 3-4PM
Steven Weinberg writes, illustrates and makes art all about color! He’s written and/or illustrated fifteen books for kids about everything from backpacking to Timbuktu, to all your favorite home appliances, to the horrors (and joys) of being a middle kid. These books have been translated into other languages; won awards and distinctions; and been called “brilliant” by Dave Pilkey, “thrillingly shameless” by the New York Times, and “guaranteed to fuel read aloud energy” by Publishers Weekly. From his home in the Catskills, NY, he paints mountains and fish that have been featured in museums, galleries, book covers, magazines, hotels, and West Kill Brewing’s beer cans too. He and his wife Casey Scieszka, also own and operate the Spruceton Inn: a Catskills Bed and Bar. Their annual Artist Residency has hosted more than one hundred artists and counting.
