  • Non Book Club Book Club

    (NBCBC) is a group of Colorado Springs based Artists, Musicians, Poets, Filmakers, Chefs, Nerds, Weirdo's, etc. whose goal is to meet monthly to share and communicate ideas; by swapping books, articles, web links, play lists and experiences.

    This event was created in order to break down the traditional ideas of learning found in school systems while also bridging art cliques in COS.

    We feel the most important information out there is what individuals curate into their own lives. We want to create and aid in the construction of safe places for open discussion and free expression.

    NBCBC meets at Auric Gallery on the 3rd Sunday of every month at 7pm.
