NORTH AMERICAN EVENING EVENT AT NATIONAL ARTS CLUB MANHATTEN

On the evening of 12 November, 8 members and friends of the Stationers' Company gathered at the National Arts Club on Gramercy Park in Manhattan as the guests of Liveryman Roger Rosen. Roger is a member of the Club and is currently curating a gallery showing called 29 Neighbors, which features art drawn from the active arts community on 19^th Street in Manhattan over the course of the past century. Roger wrote the catalog, organised the recording of music written by a composer in the exhibition, and spent over a decade planning and coordinating this special showing of creativity from this historic area of New York City. Past Master Tony Mash, Liverymen Michael Healy and Tyler Carey, applicants Deb Taylor and Cath Cantrell, and guests Brian O'Leary and Brooke Horn of the Book Industry Study Group of New York joined Roger for dinner and to tour the collections of the National Arts Club. With attendees with backgrounds in writing, publishing, theatre, art, science, and more, the conversation over dinner was active and engaging, topped only perhaps by the fine food and drink the Club provides to its members and guests. 

Following dinner, Roger provided a personal tour of the temporary portrait photo exhbiition on loan from the Bank of America, and then a very personal, guided journey through the exhibit he curated. We are fortunate to have such an active community of North American Stationers, interested in sharing their expertise and passions about our industries. 

Many thanks for Roger for coordinating this wonderful evening. 

As any Stationers plan trips across the Atlantic, please do contact Liveryman Tyler Carey at tyler.carey@westchesterpubsvcs.com, should he be able to help coordinate any opportunities to meet up with your peers from Canada and the States.
