I’m thrilled to invite you to an upcoming Art Talk, held in partnership with the Community Media Center of Marin (CMCM). Join us for a night of art and inspiration.
Art Talk, Thursday, November 21 at 7 pm

Event opens at 6 pm
During the talk, I’ll be sharing how I use art and CMCM’s supportive community to highlight social justice issues through my work. It’s a special chance to dive into my Women of Color and Accomplishment series and see how art can amplify the stories of these overlooked women..
Special Door Prizes: I’ll be giving away copies of my brand-new Coloring Book, plus the 30 Day Inspirational Journal, both featuring portraits and stories from the Women of Color and Accomplishment series.
Enjoy light snacks and drinks
Event location: Marin TV
819 A Street, San Rafael

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!
—Becky Parker Geist, BAIPA Board of Directors, President
