CreArte Latino Cultural Center is launching new online sessions for two of its most popular offerings, “Amigos Book Club” and “Conversemos en Español/Let’s Talk in Spanish.” “Amigos Book Club” is a collaboration between CreArte Latino and Bookstore1Sarasota and is designed for Spanish-speaking adults. Carolina Franco, CreArte Latino’s president and artistic director, describes the “Amigos” experience as “social, stimulating and fun.” This fall, participants will read “Y libranos del Mal/And Deliver Us from Evil” by Santiago Rocagliolo. Each of the six one-hour meetings, facilitated by Bookstore1’s Claudia Lozano, will involve group discussions of story, style, character and themes. “Amigos Book Club” is free and runs on Mondays, September 13 - October 18, 7 pm -8 pm, on Zoom. The book, “Y libranos del Mal,” is available at Bookstore1Sarasota.

The nonprofit’s mission is to forge a bilingual cultural exchange between the Latino/Hispanic community in Sarasota and Manatee counties and the community at large through arts and education. Please register before September 13 at creartelatino.org.
