Library FlyerCome on down to the Jewel Box Theater inside the Clark County Public Library on the corner of Flamingo & Paradise Sunday January 31, 2016 from 2-4PM for a very special fourth installment of Writers of Southern Nevada’s popular PAINTED STORIES series.

In honor of Mob Month, we will be featuring authors Randy Sutton, a retired Las Vegas Metro police officer, and Vito Colucci, a private investigator who made a name for himself investigating mob activities in Stamford, CT.

For the first time, we will be featuring two artists on stage with each author to double illustrate the fact that not only is a picture worth a thousand words, a thousand words (or so!) can be worth more than just one picture.

Our professional Guest Artists for this very special event will be Michael Davies and Meegan Boiros so be sure to circle your calendars for this very exciting blend of literature and art!

Painted Stories II

Join four local authors and a special guest artist for an afternoon of story inspired art!

Parking: Plenty of (free) street parking
